In keeping
with the principles put forward in Sarah Susanka’s renowned book “The Not So
Small House”, discover many pleasing and comfortable spaces in this delightful
home located at 67 Juniper Street in “Old Town” Mahtomedi. Within easy walking distance to White Bear
Lake, this charming Cape Cod style cottage, with its south facing exposure,
welcomes visitors with a paver brick walk way, and behind the picket fence lie
expansive perennial plantings.
Beyond the
entry door, you’ll find a large living room with hardwood flooring and coved
ceilings. Bright natural light floods
the room from Andersen Replacement windows.
This double hung window theme is continued throughout the home.
The maple
hardwood flooring, with beautiful walnut inlay is continued into the separate
dining area with adjacent study. You’ll
enjoy many family meals within this space featuring arched entries and solid
floor moldings.
From the
dining room, enter the kitchen, which
has been lovingly renovated to include cherry cabinetry, charming built-ins
with glass fronts, solid Cambria counter surface, barrel-vault effect above the
deep kitchen sink, and a clever replication of the original tin ceiling.
The main
level bath boasts artisan slate flooring, installed with expert care. The slate continues to the surround, which
houses a bathtub-jetted to help ease body aches and pains. Wall wainscoting, a pedestal sink, stool, and
operable window complete this space.
Upstairs, a
generously sized owner’s bedroom features dormers and a closet. Another large nearby bedroom features the
largest closet on this level. Another
bedroom, currently employed as a home office also features a dormer. The bath serving the bedroom level is
outfitted with a stand shower, pedestal sink, and stool. Ancillary lighting is provided by both a
window and a skylight.
Outdoors,
