Overview

Description

The George M. Carsley House, a 1903 architectural treasure built for Cass Gilbert’s chief architect, offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of St. Paul history. Boasting charm and undeniable curb appeal, this stately Merriam Park residence blends timeless elegance with everyday comfort. Inside, generous main-floor living spaces connect seamlessly, highlighted by two wood-burning fireplaces and the showstopping centerpiece—an elegant staircase with a sweeping landing that leads to a vaulted second-floor hallway. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms all on one level, with two thoughtfully designed Jack & Jill bathrooms and the convenience of a second-floor laundry. Tasteful built-ins, a newer two-car garage, and a lower-level separate entry apartment (ideal for income or multi-generational living) add to the home’s versatility. Tucked away in a coveted pocket of Merriam Park, this rare architectural gem is ready for its next steward to make it their own.
