764 Brookline Ave Saint Paul, MN 55119

Listing details for 764 Brookline Ave, Saint Paul, MN 55119 : Built in 1888 this home was once one of the premier homes in St. Paul. The current owners had plans to finish the walk-up attic at some point that would offer views of Pigs Eye Lake, the Downtown St. Paul skyline as well as the Downtown Minneapolis skyline. The home sits on a nearly ¾ acre lot and abuts a 15.5 acre open space/park area owned by the city of St. Paul. Truly a remarkable setting, very much a farm or country setting but only 5 miles from downtown St. Paul. The home itself offers vast opportunities to blend new with old or to go back to the original design of this classic house. This home offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a huge dining/great room, a sun room, plenty of natural light, original hardwood floors and woodwork all on top of a solid limestone foundation. They just don't build them like this anymore. If you're looking for something that has solid bones but needs some TLC, this might be the perfect home for you.
