Property Description

Welcome home to one of St. Paul's most special settings - beautiful Lake Como. Directly across from lovely Chatsworth Woods, and just steps from the lake, the fishing dock, and the trail system, this beautifully renovated home is packed with character and craftsmanship. The living room features quarter-sawn oak flooring, original to the home, while the formal dining room shines with original woodwork - arches, box beam ceiling, crown molding, and picture and plate rails. The custom kitchen is a showstopper, featuring Dekton countertops (virtually indestructible!), wide-plank Black Locust flooring milled from a St. Paul tree, a pantry, coffee bar, and custom informal dining nook. Don't miss the original shiplap in the main level half bath, salvaged during construction and reinstalled as a gorgeous accent wall! There are three upper level bedrooms, including a front bedroom with lake views and a second bedroom (currently a home office) also enjoying lake views. The primary suite is a true retreat, with a soaring vaulted ceiling, skylight, in-room laundry tucked behind a custom barn door, and a huge walk-through closet. The primary bath offers dual vanities and a walk-in shower, while the upper hall bath features floating shelves, exposed brick, and a tub. Nearly all upper level windows were upgraded to vinyl. The recently finished basement adds a family room (or guest bedroom), with an additional unfinished area ready for a playroom, workout space, or storage. You will absolutely love summer and fall evenings in the spacious screened front porch facing Como Lake, or head out and enjoy the garden from the new front deck. New roof and garage siding in 2024 as well! It's an easy walk or bike to Como Park, the Como swimming pool, Como Park Golf Course, and the world-famous Como Zoo & Conservatory. Hop on your bike and you're at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in about 10 minutes - home to the Best State Fair in the country!
