About this House

This stunning condominium in a magnificent Italianate mansion atop Ramsey Hill is not to be missed. One of only 3 units, this grand condominium overlooking the Mississippi River Valley and downtown St. Paul is a very unique find. Enjoy views year round, from either the expansive Living Room or the large 2nd floor deck (truly a rare find on Summit Ave.) Inside, the rooms are generously sized with high ceilings that let sunlight fill the space. The open Kitchen and Informal Dining Room accommodate modern life, without losing the historic charm and grace felt throughout this home. Two Walk-In Pantries, one with a wet bar, make entertaining easy and elegant. The Primary Bedroom features a large walk-in closet and full bath. Access is convenient and safe, with an elevator directly from the private garage stall into the unit. Immediately across Summit Ave from the historic University Club with the Varsity Grill and Member's Bar. Admire the newly completed landscaping that matches the character of the property perfectly. Precious few condominiums in St. Paul have the grand elegance, million dollar views and architectural sophistication this unit offers.

    "6 blocks to Summit Ave & Grand Ave + 8-9 blocks to Cathedral Hill make this an area with lots to do. The area has arguably the best public schools in the city, perhaps even the Twin Cities & still has awesome old homes oozing with character at bargain prices. This area was bad news at one time but has now been gentrified. Take crime stats for Summit-U with a grain of salt as 80% of the crime happens in the 20% of Summit-U North of interstate 94, which is it's own separate world. Subtract that crime ridden area (again, separated by the freeway) & you have a neighborhood full of affordable classic homes for families, awesome parks, A-1 schools, easy freeway access, right in the heart of St Paul's trendiest shopping/food districts, only a mile or so from downtown St Paul & just a short jump on I94 to downtown Mpls."
