Property Description

Own a piece of St. Paul history in Upper Swede Hollow! Built in 1902 as the parsonage for St. John’s German Lutheran Church, this distinctive 6-bedroom, 3-bath home showcases the craftsmanship of a bygone era. High ceilings, hardwood floors, ornate millwork, an intricately carved front door, stained glass and leaded-glass windows, grand staircases, three sets of functioning pocket doors, and a built-in butler’s pantry reflect the home’s rich history. Enclosed front and back porches add to its timeless appeal. The updated kitchen and bathrooms blend modern convenience with original charm. The partially finished basement offers a recreation room, non-conforming bedroom or den, remodeled bathroom with a new tiled shower, and abundant storage. The unfinished third level presents an opportunity to create approximately 600 additional square feet of living space or a private studio. Outside, enjoy extensive perennial gardens, a fenced organic vegetable garden with raised beds, a dedicated herb garden, and a detached two-car garage. Nestled beside Swede Hollow Park, this home offers a special connection to nature and one of St. Paul’s established historic neighborhoods. The current owner has lovingly revealed and restored much of the home’s original character. Now is your opportunity to be the next steward of this lovely home.
