Sold - 873 Idaho Avenue West, St. Paul
I’m THRILLED to be bringing this quintessential Como neighborhood home to the market. An elegant mix of style and sophistication that elevates this home from ordinary to extraordinary.
The classic stucco exterior is punctuated with updated windows, many of which were installed by the current owners. Extensive landscaping has been thoughtfully planned to ensure the yard is a rotating, colorful blend of blooms that can be enjoyed all through the year. Take a virtual tour of the landscaping through this attachment!
Step inside where a feast for the eyes awaits! The freshly painted Simply White interior is a perfect canvas for layering in your personal aesthetic. Massive front windows flood the open floorplan with natural light. High contrast interior doors bring depth and dimension while original wood floors add soul to the space.
The kitchen has undergone a complete facelift with painted cabinetry, new quartz countertops, a beadboard backsplash, new faucet & disposal as well as stainless steel appliances.
Plenty of space to add a floating island or, like these homeowners, take advantage of the corner eat-in niche.
These homeowners repurposed the third bedroom as a dedicated dining room, adding elegant millwork from crown moulding to chair rail. Inspired by the show Emily in Paris, the trim and walls alike are bathed in the most gorgeous shade of Farrow & Ball blue (Oval Room Blue).
The primary bedroom underwent a sophisticated makeover with the addition of a board and batten perimeter with integrated hooks. The custom details give the space a 5-star luxury hotel feel when layered with the linen drapery.
The darling main level nursery boasts stylish finishes that could easily evolve into a home office or cozy guest abode.
Additional charming main level details include newly installed recessed lighting to brighten the main hallway, sophisticated built in shelves and preserved original tile in the shared full bath.
Downstairs, you’ll find a cozy, warm and dry lower level - a trifecta most Minnesota basements can only aspire to! New lower level plush carpet instantly warms the space while the wood-burning fireplace with custom mantle ups the ambiance.
The bonus 4th bedroom could make a secluded home office or, with adjacent three-quarter bath, an ideal guest suite.
An additional lower level bonus space could serve as a dedicated exercise or play room - tucked out of sight from the main living area. Separate mechanical and laundry rooms offer an abundance of storage! The sellers were diligent enough to protect their lower level investment with a portion of drain tile and installed sump pump.
Don’t be fooled by the 50 shades of January gray out back - come Spring, this yard will be a kaleidoscope of color - all to be enjoyed from either of the two backyard patios.
These photos hardly do this fully fenced backyard justice - just take a look through the sellers’ candid shots for a more accurate look at this yard in its prime!
