Set on a rare double lot in the heart of Crocus Hill, this exceptional Craftsman blends timeless architecture with a thoughtfully designed addition and high-end updates for modern living. Defined by its classic form, rich woodwork, quarter-sawn oak, and hardwood floors, the home is enhanced with Prairie-inspired details including stained glass windows, a stunning Rookwood pottery woodburning fireplace, and distinctive Quezal fixtures. The chef’s kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring custom quarter-sawn oak cabinetry, soapstone countertops, a spacious center island, custom tile backsplash, and a professional-grade Bertazzoni 6-burner range. Designed for both function and beauty, the kitchen is complemented by a masterfully crafted walk-in pantry, extensive built-ins, and exceptional storage throughout. Heated wood and tile floors extend through the kitchen, main-level half bath, and mudroom, adding comfort to everyday living. Two staircases provide exceptional flow for both daily life and entertaining. The lower level offers an insulated wine cellar, thoughtfully integrated as part of the home’s addition. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms on one level and a beautifully remodeled full bath with quality finishes and heated floors. The walk-up attic presents outstanding future expansion potential, with a roughed-in ¾ bath ready for a private suite. Enjoy the best of both worlds with classic boiler heat and two central A/C systems for zoned comfort. Additional storage is abundant with a 12' x 12' shed and a spacious basement. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated architectural home with enduring character, modern comfort, and exceptional space in one of St. Paul’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
