Set on a beautifully landscaped, park-like lot, 2309 St. Anthony Parkway carries a presence that is increasingly hard to find. It is a Prairie-influenced stucco home with Craftsman details: clean horizontal lines, deep overhanging eaves, and an arched entry canopy that announces the home's 1920s pedigree the moment you arrive. The curb appeal is effortless, and from the first step through the front door there is an unmistakable sense that this is a home that has been cherished for generations.
Inside, the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Rich oak woodwork frames the graceful archways, the handsome staircase, and the original built-ins that give every room a warmth newer homes spend years trying to replicate. Sunlight pours through oversized windows and lands on gleaming hardwood floors, and the spaces feel both elegant and genuinely livable. The living room centers on a gorgeous brick fireplace framed by generous built-in cabinetry on either side, while the adjoining bay sunroom, wrapped in original dark oak trim and divided-light windows, offers one of those spaces everyone hopes to find. The main level flows naturally from room to room: a formal dining room ready for holidays and celebrations, and a beautifully updated kitchen that blends modern function with classic style through custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a natural stone backsplash, stainless appliances, and a gas range. It is equally suited to a quiet weeknight and a full house. Upstairs is where the home truly sets itself apart. The primary bedroom is a rare find: a generously sized room with its own walk-in closet and, just beyond it, a large sunlit sitting room that works beautifully as a home office, library, or creative studio. French doors open to a Juliet balcony perched above the backyard, framing leafy tree views that shift with the seasons. It is the kind of space that quietly becomes your favorite room in the house. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a wonderfully preserved vintage bath—glossy blue tile, a pedestal sink, and an original glass doorknob—round out a level full of natural light and character. The lower level adds even more room to gather, with a wet bar and flexible space for movie nights, game days, and weekend get-togethers. Outside, the backyard feels like a private urban retreat: a lush lawn for play and entertaining, and a hot tub tucked beneath the trees that invites year-round enjoyment, from a crisp fall evening to a snowy Minnesota winter night. Then there is the rare find outdoors. An attached one-car garage paired with a detached two-car garage gives you three covered spaces in all—exceptional flexibility for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or future projects—and almost unheard of along the Parkway. Homes on St. Anthony Parkway rarely come available, and even fewer offer this combination of character, space, versatility, and setting. This is the kind of home people wait for, the kind that feels special the moment you arrive and even better once you step inside.
