Stately single-family homes with historical significance tend to catch the attention of area home buyers if for no other reason than just curiosity. But as most home owners who already live in St. Paul’s highly-desirable Ramsey Hill neighborhood will tell you, 121 Virginia Street is one of those eye-catching properties that will not only catch home buyers’ attention, but undoubtedly pique their interest as well.

Originally built back in 1910, this extraordinary Georgian Revival residence is the epitome of charm, elegance, and sophistication, all without sacrificing a bit of modern luxury. Inside, the exceptional mill work, the gleaming hardwood flooring, and the unique layout and roof lines all help give 121 Virginia Street a personality that you generally can’t capture in a modern, new construction home. But as you’ll quickly notice, potential home buyers who appreciate the aesthetic appeal of newer finishes and features will soon realize this one-of-a-kind opportunity truly offers anyone lucky enough to call 121 Virginia Street home the best of both worlds, enhancing its appeal luxury home buyers searching for that perfect place to live in beautiful St. Paul, Minnesota.

The History

As you might expect, there’s a whole lot more to 121 Virginia Street than just classic old-world architecture and a tastefully updated interior. Outside of just being built in the early 1900s, 121 Virginia Street has a very rich history that involves a few of Minnesota’s most famous residents, including Dorothy and Lewis Hill Jr. and famed American novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Once a former owner of 121 Virginia Street, Lewis Hill Jr. is easily one of the most celebrated and influential Minnesotans in history, having had a hand in just about every aspect of local business and politics, community development, civic volunteer work, and various other community enhancement roles that helped shape the St. Paul community as we know it today. Furthermore, 121 Virginia Street is also the site of where a young F. Scott Fitzgerald performed one of his last juvenile shows for young children in the neighborhood, which has been well-documented by Fitzgerald in St. Paul—a private, non-profit organization that’s dedicated to celebrating the life of one of the greatest authors the world has ever seen.

The Finishes & Features

First let’s just start with the basics: 121 Virginia is a five-bedroom, five-bathroom mansion with just over 5,100 square feet of total living space. As mentioned above, the home’s gourmet eat-in kitchen and luxurious master suite are of course two of the more eye-catching interior features you’ll find in the home, but given 121 Virginia also features five fireplaces, a cozy home office/library, and professional landscaping that surrounds a secluded backyard and several lush gardens, the list of upscale characteristics associated with the magnificent 121 Virginia Street certainly doesn't stop there. The two-car garage will also give future home owners lots of additional storage space, but with well over 5,000 square feet, extra space should probably be one of the last things on the minds of potential home buyers considering this dynamic Ramsey Hill address.

The Location

Just minutes from both Downtown Minneapolis and Downtown St. Paul, it’s hard to imagine living in a better St. Paul location than what 121 Virginia can provide. Situated right up the street is Boyd Park—a pleasant public park space with a playground, lots of mature trees, and one of the best spots in town for an outdoor picnic or just spending a quiet afternoon outside. Also just blocks away is St. Paul Central High School, the Cathedral of St. Paul, a number of locally-owned cafes and coffee shops along Selby Avenue, and of course the Martin Luther King Community Recreation Center, which features tennis courts, a gymnasium, a fitness center, and tons of great youth and family-oriented events for members of all ages. But above all, if you’re also someone who truly loves the allure and charisma that is commonly associated with vintage architecture and homes that feature distinct historical significance, there’s really no better place to call home than in Ramsey Hill, which has perhaps the highest concentration of houses built between 1890 and 1920 in all of St. Paul.
