Overview

Description

Welcome to 1954 Summit Avenue, your opportunity to own a true midcentury modern home in one of St. Paul's most coveted and walkable neighborhoods! Perched with a delightful view over the parkway, this exceptionally well-preserved gem combines unique design, tasteful updates, and an impressive open floor plan. The curb appeal is top notch, with it's low slung roofline, wide fascia, professional landscaping, and oversized picture windows. The architectural design welcomes you and your guests home via the large “lobby” entry room, which can function as a library, four season porch, office, or art gallery. This light-filled space serves as a weather barrier, hangout space, and means of communication and flow between the two floors. French doors and your very own “Juliet window” can be closed for great privacy between levels. You will love the original wood paneling, warm oak hardwood floors, large open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and vaulted main living area. This home’s zen design and location overlooking the nature-filled parkway create a sense of calm and stress relief for anyone lucky enough to own or visit. Other noteworthy and unique features include the exposed post and beam architecture, attractive river-pebble flooring in the entry and lower level, easy ensuite expansion potential for the primary bedroom, and a massive lower level workshop/gym/studio which could be finished into a large primary suite or home theater. Attributed to the architect firm of Bergstedt and Hirsch, who went on to design several churches along Summit Avenue, including the exceptional Mount Zion Temple and St. Theresa's Catholic, this immaculately maintained home is ready for it’s proud new owners.
