This stunning condominium in a magnificent Italianate mansion atop Ramsey Hill is not to be missed. One of only 3 units, this grand condominium overlooking the Mississippi River Valley and downtown St. Paul is a very unique find. Enjoy views year round, from either the expansive Living Room or the large 2nd floor deck (truly a rare find on Summit Ave.) Inside, the rooms are generously sized with high ceilings that let sunlight fill the space. The open Kitchen and Informal Dining Room accommodate modern life, without losing the historic charm and grace felt throughout this home. Two Walk-In Pantries, one with a wet bar, make entertaining easy and elegant. The Primary Bedroom features a large walk-in closet and full bath. Access is convenient and safe, with an elevator directly from the private garage stall into the unit. Immediately across Summit Ave from the historic University Club with the Varsity Grill and Member's Bar. Admire the newly completed landscaping that matches the character of the property perfectly. Precious few condominiums in St. Paul have the grand elegance, million dollar views and architectural sophistication this unit offers.
