Property Description
The property's commanding presence begins with its masterfully preserved wood shingle exterior, where operable wood shutters frame elegant 6-over-1 windows in perfect symmetry. A distinctive gabled entrance, adorned with vertical wood siding and supported by iron posts, creates an inviting approach, while half sidelights frame the front door.
Within, the main level unfolds with sophisticated flow. The great room anchors the floor plan with its wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins, complemented by formal and informal dining spaces. A private kitchen awaits its next owner's vision, while a dedicated office provides an elegant work-from-home retreat. The east-facing sun porch offers a light-filled sanctuary, and a powder room adds convenience. Original hardwood floors extend throughout beneath carpeting, awaiting restoration.
The upper level features four well-proportioned bedrooms served by two full bathrooms, with hardwood floors beneath carpeting throughout. Above, an unfinished attic presents expansion possibilities. The spacious lower level, accessed via a private walkup entrance to the rear yard, includes a family room, amusement room, laundry facilities, and three-quarter bathroom. While this generous space awaits comfort updates, its practical layout and private entrance make it ideal for conversion to an independent apartment or extended family living space, subject to local regulations.
Modern convenience meets classic design in the property's exceptional parking accommodations. An oversized two-car garage provides secure vehicle storage, while an adjacent carport offers additional covered parking. The alley-accessed design maintains the home's historic street presence while delivering the functionality today's homeowners desire. A dedicated storage shed houses gardening equipment and landscape maintenance tools, supporting the care of the expansive grounds.
Modern comfort is assured through hot water heating and central air conditioning. The property's 1960 relocation to Summit Avenue included a new concrete block foundation, ensuring structural integrity while preserving architectural heritage.
Summit Avenue's premier location offers proximity to the Cathedral of Saint Paul, Grand Avenue's sophisticated amenities, and downtown's cultural venues. The celebrated Grand Round parkway system provides recreational opportunities steps away.
This Colonial Revival residence represents a rare opportunity to embrace both architectural distinction and modern comfort. Whether restored to classic beauty or reimagined with contemporary touches, 1291 Summit Avenue presents an exceptional opportunity to become part of Summit Avenue's continuing legacy while creating a personal vision of elegant living.
