Beautifully updated historic home in Stillwater’s beloved North Hill neighborhood, near Stillwater Country Club Golf Course. Set on a prominent corner lot along one of the city’s most cherished streets, this home offers the rare combination of timeless character, thoughtful updates, and exceptional walkability to downtown Stillwater, the library, coffee shops, restaurants, parks, and the St. Croix River.
Originally built in 1872, the home has been carefully improved over time while preserving the warmth and architectural character buyers hope to find in a classic Stillwater property. A significant renovation in 1982 replaced the original foundation with a substantial cement block basement, creating an unusually functional lower level rarely found in homes of this era. Today, that space provides a charming family room with fireplace, excellent workout area, efficient laundry room, and dedicated craft or hobby room — flexible spaces that greatly enhance daily living while maintaining the home’s historic charm above.
The renovated kitchen (2023) blends modern functionality with timeless style, with new cabinets, a large new window to the south, new fixtures, lighting, flooring, and appliances. Two of the three bathrooms have been completely updated and remodeled to create functional, charming bathrooms and conveniences uncommon in many historic homes. A rare main-level bedroom features brand-new carpeting installed this week, and the upper-level hallway also features newly installed high-quality wool carpeting, adding warmth and comfort to the private living spaces. The main-level owner’s suite includes a private bath and walk-in closet, offering flexible living options for guests, multigenerational living, or long-term main-level living.
Sunlight fills the generous living spaces throughout the home, plus the fenced yard offers excellent space for gardening, entertaining, play, pets, or simply enjoying peaceful evenings outdoors. Important updates include a newer roof (2022), refreshed interior finishes, and thoughtful improvements throughout the home.
North Hill remains one of Stillwater’s most desirable neighborhoods for its tree-lined streets, historic architecture, and close connection to downtown life while still maintaining a quiet residential feel. Homes with this level of updating, condition, history, and location rarely become available. Available for showings beginning Saturday, May 30.
