This house is on the list of many of our friends and neighbors and as their favorite house in the neighborhood, so when the original owner came to us and asked if we had interest in purchasing it, we jumped at the opportunity!

The original owner of the home has built the big red Japanese style home next door, and also owns the Japanese garden next to the house. We purchased this house - the house he had lived in for 43 years last fall, and modernized and furnished the home. They are great neighbors, and obviously love the neighborhood!

The best part of the house is the location - you have uninterrupted views of the Mississippi River Valley, Smith High Bridge, and miles of bluffs. The original owner is a master gardener, and has built amazing gardens, paths, and rare plants, trees, and landscaping surround the home. Inside the house is another unique experience - open concept living with 7 seating areas, 2 bedrooms, 1 extra bedroom with futon, incredible "beam room" with suspended bubble chair, lower level TV room with 65" Roku TV, kitchen stocked with snacks, coffee, waters. Two full bathrooms with rainhead showers, plus an extra shower!

The location gets better when you realize you can walk to the best coffee (Claddagh Coffee), Brewery (Bad Weather & Waldmann), and cocktail lounge (Emerald Lounge) all within about 2 blocks. You can also walk to Xcel Energy Center, and downtown St. Paul!
