1957 W Larpenteur Avenue W

Classic 1925 Craftsman character with an unexpected country setting. This brick-and-stucco home faces the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul campus agricultural fields, so you get open views and a rural feel while sitting minutes from Hwy 280, Rosedale, the State Fairgrounds, and both downtowns. Inside, the craftsmanship shines: the living room is framed by beautiful original built-in bookcases and a secretary desk flanking the fireplace, and the dining room features an original built-in buffet. Gorgeous refinished hardwood floors run throughout the first and second floors. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, all four bedrooms share one level. Energy-efficient double-pane windows and a low-maintenance brick and stucco exterior mean more time enjoying the home and less time on upkeep. The huge, clean, wide-open lower level is ready for whatever you have in mind: a workshop, home gym, studio, rec room, or future finished space, with a half bath already in place. A century of charm with room to make it your own.
