About this home
This very charming large 3 story home with 5+ bedrooms and 5 baths is a rare gem, a living testament to history, craftsmanship and timeless elegance, waiting for its next steward. Nestled on a uniquely private large walkout lot, it's just a short walk from Folwell School, Mayo Clinic Campus and Downtown. Ninety years ago, a distinguished Mayo Clinic physician commissioned the renowned architect Harold Crawford to design a home in the Colonial style, inspired by his Virginia roots, in what we now know as the Pill Hill neighborhood of Historic Old Southwest Rochester. Fortunately, over nearly a century, this classically crafted home has been cherished by its owners, each preserving the original vision of an elegant yet comfortable family dwelling. The current owners have loved this home for nearly 35 years and in the last 15 years, they have painstakingly restored every facet, refreshing what needed care, enhancing with thoughtful improvements, while keeping the home's original flow intact. Each element has been updated...the roof, cement siding, every window, brickwork restored in the elegant garden room beneath the front steps. Heated floors, a new furnace, a fabulous marble kitchen, remodeled bathrooms and so much more. Every room is well proportioned. With beautifully crafted dental moldings, rich woodwork, marble and antique Delft tile, gas and wood-burning fireplaces, hardwood floors with inlaid padauk detail, generous built-in cabinetry throughout. A library expanded for effortless flow. The original knotty pine main floor family room is now enlarged and replaced with walnut paneling with nine new panel designs replicating the original molding, the formal dining room now with gorgeous shell cabinets. The lower level family room lowered to create an 8 foot ceiling. The meticulously created and cared-for grounds offer formal and informal gardens, stone walkways, retaining walls, and a bluestone patio hidden behind a brick wall and beneath a graceful pergola and a beautiful large covered front porch. Main floor features: foyer, large living room with fireplace, formal dining room, large family room, library, beautiful kitchen and half bath. Second Floor features: large primary bedroom with a private full bath, 3 additional bedrooms, full bathroom and 3/4 bathroom. Each of the 4 upstairs bedrooms is spacious, well-closeted, with 3 remodeled bathrooms. Third floor features: large flexible space to use as a large 6th bedroom or office or exercise room. Another bonus room, 2 sites for a future 6th bathroom. Lower-level features: Large wood paneled family room with fireplace, 5th bedroom, 3/4 bathroom, mudroom, laundry room, utility room/workshop. Garden room which walks out to the yard, access to 2 car garage. See attached videos....
