Welcome to your dream home in the heart of the beloved Como neighborhood! Just steps from scenic Como Lake, this charming 19th-century Victorian Gem offers front-row views to lakeside beauty, walking and biking trails, and vibrant community life—all while being nestled in a peaceful, park-surrounded setting. This lovingly maintained home blends timeless elegance with thoughtful updates. Vintage details like 9 1/2-foot coved ceilings, classic arched doorways, and original hardwood floors showcase its historic charm, while modern enhancements add comfort and functionality and contribute to the home's long-lasting quality. Since 1992, this home has been cared for with dedication and vision—highlighted by a custom shower that mirrors the curve of original windows, a professionally landscaped yard by Phillips Garden, and eco-conscious hardscaping to manage rainwater and reduce maintenance. You'll love relaxing on the whimsical curved front walk or the west-facing back deck, where afternoon sun warms the garden and garage. Inside, the spacious main floor is an entertainers dream, with a formal dining room, cozy living room with gas fireplace, and an inviting patio just outside. Upstairs offers original hardwood floors throughout, and 4 spacious bedrooms, with views of the lake from the primary bedroom. The carriage house-style garage offers space for two cars plus generous upper-level storage—ideal for seasonal gear, and misc items. New roof and Leaf Guard gutters in 2023, and new high efficiency boiler in 2020. For 33 years, this home has been a haven for birdwatchers, garden lovers, and morning coffee with lake views. Convenient location to the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory, Como Lake, the Como Park Golf Course, and the Lakeside Pavilion. Highway 36, I-94, and the 3-A Metro Transit are all nearby for convenient access. Don't miss this rare opportunity to live in one of St. Paul's most treasured neighborhoods—where nature, community, and classic beauty all come together! **Interior photos will be added on 5/1**
