The open front porch welcomes you to this distinctive brick beauty, set on one of St. Paul's most prestigious avenues! Step inside the gracious foyer to find eye-catching lighting, a cozy nook for benches, and unique coffered ceilings. The living room is accented with a beautiful front bay window, ceiling trim with dentil work, gleaming hardwood floors, and a fireplace with ceramic hearth. The formal dining room will be the scene of many memorable meals, with coffered ceiling and a beautiful chandelier. The dynamic, updated kitchen is steps away, adorned with granite countertops with tiled backsplashes, sleek cabinetry, recessed lighting and a center island. The mudroom features cubbies and cabinets, and leads into the spacious, inviting three-season porch! Rounding off the main level is a sparkling sunroom/den and a guest half bath. Travel to the upper level to discover the luxurious owner’s suite, with a fireplace, expansive windows, and a spa-like full bath. A second bedroom is found on this level, with a three-quarter bath with laundry nearby. There is also a library with built-in bookshelves, a study and a sunroom. The third level will delight, offering two bedrooms, each with hardwood floors and windows with treetop views, and an office with built-in desk, cabinets and shelving. These bedrooms share a three-quarter bath with pedestal sink, and there is a cedar closet for your seasonal garments. The lower level will be a magnet for casual gatherings, boasting a family room with fireplace, a wine cellar, and a three-quarter bath with a soothing sauna! Plenty of super storage too, plus space for a workbench or your hobbies. Wow, the bathrooms and laundry room have heated floors! The three-season back porch will be a haven in the summertime, with screens on 3 sides, a breeze ceiling fan, and is the ideal place to relax or dine al fresco. Set up your grill on the patio and host summer barbecues. Plant a flower or vegetable garden in the peaceful backyard. Your cars and lawn tools will be protected from the elements in the three car garage! Incredible location on tree-lined Summit Avenue, close to downtown St. Paul, and to the Grand Avenue shops and restaurants. This fine home is in a class by itself!
