All aboard! Have front row seats to the past and the future with this Cape Cod charmer. This 1895 gem, wrapped in classic wood shake siding, sits across the street from the tracks in a no-horn zone — where neighbors love the quiet, rhythmic rumble of trains rolling past. This was a train town long before it became part of Route 66, and this home proudly carries that legacy forward. The original Maplewood train depot was just a block to the east, and the city's historic district is a block to the west. This property is the oldest on its block by five years and has witnessed tremendous change over the decades. The Great Rivers Greenway — currently being installed — will be the next transformation, turning the front door into a gateway to an outdoor lifestyle. Imagine having a boundless connection to the metro area via trails — plus living mere blocks from Maplewood restaurants, parks, shops and activities! This home connects history, community and convenience all in one spot. Inside, timeless character meets modern comfort. The spacious, light-filled entry showcases period woodwork and fresh, neutral paint. Ten-foot ceilings and an abundance of windows fill the home with natural light, highlighting the hardwood floors found throughout most areas. Recessed lighting and ceiling speakers throughout elevate the living experience. The spacious kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances and a large gas range, opening seamlessly to the family room and dining area. Gas fireplaces in the family and dining rooms offer glimpses into the home's 130-year history. Up the freshly carpeted staircase are two bedrooms and full bath; the larger room could easily be divided to create a fourth bedroom. From the landing, retreat up the winding wood stairs to the private primary suite on the third floor, where sunlight dances across the hardwood floors and the cross gable roof creates cozy, inviting spaces. Back on the main floor, exit out the side door to one of the larger lots in the city — fully fenced for privacy and perfect for pets or play. Enjoy the huge shade tree, large concrete patio and storage shed, with plenty of grassy space left to garden or relax. The clean, bright lower level includes a laundry area, full bath, storage galore and walk-up access to the back yard. The zoned HVAC keeps every floor comfortable year round. With its large lot, open layout, and unbeatable blend of history and lifestyle, this Maplewood treasure isn’t just a house — it’s a home with personality, community, and a front row seat to the best of the past and the future.
