Referred to officially as the Palmer- Schafer House and constructed in 1914, this rare find is a Gordon-Van Tine Catalog Home, rich with history, charm, and timeless character. Walking distance to the glacially carved St. Croix River and both the Minnesota and Wisconsin Interstate Parks, this 4-bedroom 3-bath home tells a story with custom built-ins, and appealing details throughout the home. The relaxing front porch and early Craftsman style front door welcome you into a cozy living room that has a wood burning fireplace, a formal dining area, and a sunroom with a wet bar that is surrounded by mature trees and a wraparound deck. The kitchen includes all new stainless-steel appliances, a center island, and an informal eat-in dining area. The main level has a bath with a shower and a classic clawfoot tub anchors the full bathroom on the upper level. Step out of the primary suite into your own sunlit retreat. This upper-level three-season porch is filled with natural light and has plenty of room for a morning coffee spot, a reading nook, or a quiet place to unwind at the end of a day. A hidden attic hideaway, reached by stairs and a hatch door from one of the other 3 bedrooms adds to the allure of this 1914 home. Bring your ideas for a play space, reading loft, or future finished and insulated room. Plenty room for parking and storage either in the original carriage house or the 2 1/2 car detached, insulated, and heated garage. This property's layout is ideal for a year-round home, cabin, or continuing as a proven income-producing short-term vacation rental still offering opportunities to add value, drive up bookings and increase cashflow! To make your move even easier, all or select furniture will stay with the property. A rare find offering character, comfort, and versatile investment potential in a convenient location within walking distance to vibrant downtown St. Croix Falls, conveniently located near schools, many shops, restaurants, wineries, breweries, and ski resorts.
