There are homes you walk through and homes you walk into. 1263 Como Boulevard West, a 3-bedroom, 3-bath, 1885 historic home on the west end of Como Lake in Saint Paul's Como Park, is decidedly the latter.
The covered front porch faces the lake through a canopy of mature trees, the kind of porch that makes you reconsider your plans for the afternoon. Inside, the lake-facing living room earns every window. A main floor bedroom currently used as a den offers the flexibility that modern life actually requires. The updated kitchen with a center island, gas range, and stainless appliances flows into a sunny dining area wrapped in windows and light. This is a house that makes ordinary mornings feel worth lingering over -- and that offers something rarer still: the particular peace of a place where you can simply be.
Upstairs, a generous landing sets the tone, large enough to be a reading nook, a study, or an office. The primary suite begins with a private sitting room that opens through an arched doorway into the bedroom itself -- and beyond that, an upper sun porch facing the lake through the tree canopy. A sequence of spaces that understands what rest actually requires. The second bedroom has its own adjoining sun room with walls of windows and extraordinary light. Three bathrooms -- one on each floor. A mudroom that understands how people actually live, and storage spaces so charming they deserve their own mention.
Outside, a deep 47x190 lot with a pergola patio strung with lights, raised garden beds, lush established landscaping, and a 2-car detached garage. Perfectly placed between Como Lake and the park, with the conservatory and golf course just moments away.
