a Cass Gilbert architectural masterpiece. this Stunning Dutch Colonial with Gambrel Roof, and classic solid soft-yellow limestone side-walls, and foundation, was originally constructed for Cass Gilbert's chief architectural assistant, George M. Carsley. The attention to detail is obvious, both inside and out. The home is on the Ramsey County Historical Survey. The elaborate Colonial grand foyer washes over your senses as you enter focal pointed by the striking Colonial switch-back staircase flooding the entry foyer interior with daylight. Your senses are a bit overwhelmed as you as you try to absorb all the vistas of this home's spacious and welcoming layout. The floorplan flows easily from from the relaxed Den/Library with its cozy fireplace, or opt into the tastefully more formal Living Room with with its more formal fireplace and ambiance. The Colonial-style Formal Dining room is wisely interconnected through a short hallway to the extremely efficiently designed Galley Kitchen. Back to the centrally-located foyer and up the lovely switch-back Colonial spindled staircase with its light-filled landing, leads to a a spacious second floor with four light-filled bedrooms, including a huge master bedroom and two baths - a shared master and the main bath. There is also a mother-in-law, and/or rental apartment in the basement with its own private side entrance. It's a cozy one-bedroom with its own fireplace with flanking bookcases, and a special ambiance. This unit has a very long-term tenant and is currently way under-rented at $600 per month including heat, water, and trash. A little tasteful and cosmetic TLC should result in a doubling of the rent. As you can see in the photos, there is also an architecturally-blending two-car garage with automatic opener. This Home's location was tastefully selected for its multiple-facade-displaying site, and subtle cornerstone neighborhood-enhancing status right across the street from the original main entrance to the highly-regarded Episcopal Church Home.
