412 Winona ST E Saint Paul, MN 55107

Perched atop a hill, down a quiet dead end street, sits a stately residence far from your average two story.  Climbing the steps to the wrought iron and wood front gate, you pass three levels of gardens separated by precisely stacked retaining walls on one side - on the other - a rock based garden waiting for your green thumb.  The small, but well kept yard leads up to your front stoop and inside.  Here you'll notice turn-of-the-century character mixes well with modern details and rustic charm.  The front room features neutral colors, wide baseboards, and a large picture window with gorgeous stained glass details.  The layout is open - yet defined with the help of a stacked stone support pillar.  An office nook could also function as a sitting room and opens directly to the dining area.  Hardwood floors flow from the dining room into the impressive kitchen.  Well-appointed, this kitchen features a center island with stainless steel farmhouse sink and breakfast bar.  Just beyond the sliding barn door, you'll find a full bathroom - tucked away, but still very conveniently placed.  Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms with stylish sloped ceilings - that still offer great ceiling height.  In the kitchen, you'll find access to the unfinished basement.  Clean as a whistle, this basement is great for storage - or you could finish it off for more living space and a possible third bedroom.  The massive laundry room has another great feature: a toilet and shower tucked away along the side wall. As you head outside to the rear of the home, you'll find your own personal sanctuary.  A large deck and grassy area are great for relaxing or entertaining.  While a covered portion of the deck shields the grill master in all sorts of weather.  Wood fencing, more gardens, and ample tree coverage add privacy and shade for you to enjoy.  There is also a shed to store all your yard tools and toys. This fun and whimsical home awaits its new owners.
