You will fall in love with this turn-key, turn-of-the-century gem in the heart of Midway, St Paul! Preserved historic stain glass features, millwork and wood flooring seamlessly paired with open floor plan and thoughtful modern updates maximizing space for simplicity, comfort and efficiency in daily living. This character rich home greets you with a serene front porch, complete with an attached bench swing and updated windows. Immediately inside, you’ll find the cutest “cloffice” (closet office!) just off the entry - perfect for an office or command center, easily converted back to a coat closet. The main level features a light filled layout with aesthetic architectural points of interest: a large arched room transition and recessed wood ceiling. Bright light filled open concept enables a connected feel to the rest of the home with large island workspace and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom, including a primary bedroom with a beautiful study or office space that could serve instead as a walk-in closet, nursery, or flex space. Head up another flight of stairs to an insulated third floor attic with an infrared sauna and plenty of potential to finish for additional living space. The basement offers laundry and ample storage, while the heated mudroom leads to the expansive 12’x28’ deck, fully fenced backyard, and canopy of old-growth conifers skylining the property. Though current door accommodates one car, the oversized 24’ x 24’ garage is larger than many two-car garages, offering possibilities for additional storage, hobby work space or adding a larger door to accommodate two-car in future. Lovingly cared for and well maintained, this home is the perfect blend of space and functionality you need and has just enough canvas potential to make your own distinct mark. It’s cute, charming, full of character, and ready for its next owners to settle in and enjoy!
