10 Benhill Rd Saint Paul, MN 55105

Some homes are simply houses. This one is a legacy. Set on one of the finest lots in Summit Hill's best-kept-secret pocket, the original Benhill home is a 1915 storybook cottage by renowned local architect Clarence Johnston - and its next chapter is ready to be written. A large, private, tree-lined lot with a generous front yard frames the home in a setting that cannot be replicated.Inside, the original residence holds 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, including a main-floor bedroom, a butler's pantry, and a breathtaking sunroom whose beautiful window and french door details open onto a private patio. Hardwood floors, original built-ins, and generously sized bedrooms carry the home's character throughout. The finished walkout basement adds a second kitchenette and wet bar, made for entertaining, extended guests, or quiet evenings in. And you will appreciate the rare attached 2 car garage. The attached ADU, added later, offers its own separate entrance, a large family room, 2 bedrooms, and a full bath. Together, the two portions span over 3,500 square feet on a footprint exceeding 1,800 square feet - a rare amount of space to shape into something extraordinary. Currently classified as a duplex, the home invites you to write its next chapter. Remove the wall between the units and a grand 5-bedroom, 4-bath single-family residence emerges. Keep both sides and you have built-in rental income, a multi-generational haven, or a live-in-one, rent-the-other arrangement. This is a rare restoration opportunity: original architectural character, remarkable bones, and upside in every direction, awaiting someone with the vision and the willingness to bring it back to its full glory. For the investor, it's a compelling renovation opportunity. For the homeowner, it's the chance to craft a forever home in one of Saint Paul's most cherished neighborhoods. Bring your ideas. Imagine the possibilities.
