Property Description
Once home to acclaimed author Robert Pirsig, who wrote the classic "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, " this beautifully preserved residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of literary history in one of St. Paul's most beloved neighborhoods. Nestled in the secluded Desnoyer Park community, the home combines timeless character with thoughtful updates and an unbeatable location. Just steps from the Mississippi River, you'll enjoy access to miles of scenic walking and biking trails, lush green spaces, and peaceful river views - all within minutes of both downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis. Inside, the home welcomes you with warmth and charm. The formal dining room features original built-ins, offering the perfect setting for gatherings. The living room's gas fireplace serves as a beautiful focal point, framed by elegant details and filled with natural light. French doors open to a large composite deck that overlooks the backyard - ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the neighborhood. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms on one level, along with a full bathroom. A convenient quarter bath is located in the unfinished basement. Outdoors, the front yard pollinator garden has been lovingly cultivated to provide color, texture, and a welcoming habitat for bees and butterflies throughout the seasons. The yard reflects the same care and creativity that has gone into maintaining the entire property over the years. Desnoyer Park is a tight-knit community known for its tree-lined streets, historic homes, and easy access to both city life and nature. Enjoy quick connections to major freeways, nearby coffee shops and restaurants, local parks, and the Mississippi River Parkway system.
