Home’s History

Built in 1917, this home has stood as a testament to the enduring character of the Riverside neighborhood. 

Over a century ago, Riverside was a burgeoning community, benefiting from the industrial growth of the nearby St. Louis River and the development of railroads. 

This house has witnessed the transformation of the area from its early days of bustling industrial activity to a peaceful residential enclave. 

The solid construction typical of the early 20th century has allowed it to withstand the test of time, offering modern homeowners a glimpse into the past while providing a sturdy foundation for future generations.

Its Current State

Despite its age, the house retains much of its original charm, with features like a large kitchen and two nicely sized bedrooms. 

The sauna in the basement is a unique addition, perfect for relaxation. The exterior has been well-maintained, with recent updates ensuring that the house remains a cozy and inviting space for its residents.

Off-street parking is available for two vehicles, and while there is no garage, the large storage shed compensates for this, providing ample space for tools and outdoor equipment. 

The deck off the back of the house is a wonderful spot for relaxing and enjoying the outdoors, whether it’s for a morning coffee or an evening meal. 

The proximity to the Willard Munger State Trail, the Western Waterfront Trail, Spirit Mountain base, and the St. Louis River makes this home an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts and those who appreciate nature.
