481 Laurel ave. St. Paul MN
More condos on Laurel. Yesterday I wrote about Riley Row, a beautiful historic row house on Laurel Avenue where the famous writer F. Scott Fitzgerald lived for a year. The Fitzgerald’s moved around a bit but F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in this building in 1896. The Fitzgerald’s lived at 481 for two years. The building is now called the F. Scott Fitzgerald condominiums but it used to be the San Mateo Flats, which were originally luxury apartments. There are apartments that were converted into condos all over the Summit Hill and Crocus Hill neighborhoods. They are the nicest historic Condos in the city.
The condos are nice. They have fireplaces, exposed brick walls, built-ins and are about 1450 square feet each with two bedrooms and those wonderful balconies. There are rarely any units for sale in the building.
There is a plaque on the building you can see it in the picture to the left of the steps. The building is designated as a literacy landmark by friends of the Library USA.
There is also the F. Scott Fitzgerald Row house at 599 Summit Avenue.

I absolutely love the look of these condos! They just scream class and sophistication. Wish we had some like these in our area!
They are lovely.
