614 Grand Avenue , 3EE

Description

Welcome to this spacious and character-filled top-floor condo, ideally located in the highly sought-after Summit Hill neighborhood of Saint Paul. Featuring three bedrooms and one bathroom, this home offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern convenience, just steps from Grand Avenue's shops, restaurants, cafs, and bus lines, with quick access to downtown Saint Paul and major highways. Originally built in 1904, this building was once a retreat for St. Paul residents with summer homes on White Bear Lake, made accessible by the streetcar lines that once connected the two. Today, it stands as a beautifully preserved piece of early 20th-century architecture, thoughtfully updated for contemporary living. Inside, you'll find fresh paint throughout, gleaming hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and abundant built-in storage. The living room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace and opens to a versatile third bedroom through a pocket door. This flexible space can be left open to extend your living and entertaining area or closed off for use as a private office, guest room, or bedroom. The third bedroom also connects to a second bedroom, allowing for a variety of layout options. Both spaces can be separated by doors for privacy or used together for a more open, connected feel. One of the bedrooms, filled with natural light and equipped with its own sink, was formerly used as the maid's quarters, a charming nod to the building's early 20th-century history. The kitchen is both functional and inviting, offering generous counter space, high ceilings, and a second pantry for added storage. Just beyond the kitchen, the in-unit laundry room includes additional shelving, ideal for pantry overflow or small kitchen appliances. One of the condo's most unique features is the brick-walled front porch overlooking the vibrant intersection of Grand Avenue and Dale Street. Both streets are served by convenient bus routes providing easy access to all of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Additional features include a designated off-street parking space, a private storage locker in the building's basement, and an expansive shaded courtyard with two gas grills, perfect for warm-weather dining and entertaining. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Saint Paul history, full of charm, light, and convenience in one of the city's most beloved neighborhoods.
