Impressive home in the heart of Highland, beautifully situated on a rare double lot with exceptional curb appeal & the ever illusive attached garage! Lush, meticulously maintained gardens and mature landscaping create a stunning first impression as you arrive. Grand double doors welcome you into a spacious foyer featuring a tasteful tile entry and a generous coat closet. Timeless character is showcased throughout the main level with gleaming hardwood floors, elegant coved ceilings, rich natural woodwork, graceful arched doorways, and a charming window seat flanked by custom built-in cabinetry. The inviting fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the living room, creating a warm and welcoming gathering space. The chef's kitchen is thoughtfully designed with updated appliances, abundant cabinetry, and expansive counter space, making everyday meal preparation and entertaining equally enjoyable. A convenient door provides easy access to the deck, perfect for grilling or dining al fresco. The adjoining dining room is bathed in natural light and enhanced by period-inspired lighting and sliding glass doors that open to the deck, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Just off the dining area, a versatile bonus room offers endless possibilities. Currently used as a cozy den, this flexible space would also make an ideal home office, media room, reading lounge, or game room to suit your lifestyle. A conveniently located main-level half bath is tucked just off the foyer, eliminating the need to head upstairs when entertaining guests. The upper level features two generously sized bedrooms. The spacious primary bedroom is filled with natural light from beautiful corner windows and includes his and hers closets. The adjoining walk-through full bath offers a separate tiled shower, relaxing soaking tub, and an oversized vanity with abundant storage. The second bedroom is equally impressive with double closets and two sets of windows that fill the room with sunshine.
The lower level provides additional living space with a sizeable family room featuring built-in shelving and a cozy brick fireplace, making it the perfect place to gather. The adjacent laundry area offers the potential to create a charming wet bar, with countertop space already open to the family room for effortless entertaining. A third bedroom & flex room combination with dual closets and a nearby three-quarter bath makes this level ideal for guests, a teenager's retreat, private home office or workout space. The true highlight of this property is the extraordinary backyard oasis. Set on a rare double lot, the park-like setting offers exceptional privacy and room to relax or entertain. An expansive deck overlooks the beautifully landscaped yard, with steps leading down to the lush lawn and a pergola-covered patio surrounded by vibrant gardens and a tranquil pond. Whether you're hosting family and friends, enjoying your morning coffee, or watching birds and local wildlife, this outdoor retreat offers a peaceful escape in the city. Updated windows, plumbing & electric during the remodel take the guess work out of this one. Garage is double deep and could hold 4 smaller cars. Ideally located just steps from Highland National Golf Course, the Highland Park Aquatic Center, neighborhood parks, shopping, dining, and more, this exceptional home combines timeless charm, generous living spaces, and an unbeatable location in one of Saint Paul's most desirable neighborhoods.
