This beautiful French Country estate is designed by Charlie & Co. Design, located on the bluffs of the mighty Mississippi in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Evoking the character and detail of a by-gone era, this home is an architectural masterpiece. An inviting exterior facade showcases rusticated stone walls with cut stone detailing. This provides a sense of longevity and permanence, visually grounding the home to its site. Sculpted formal gardens, flowing fountains and stone terraces allow for the homeowners to enjoy the surrounding nature and distant views to the river and beyond.
