About This Home

As of August 2026

An extraordinary opportunity to own one of Saint Paul’s most celebrated, sustainable modern homes! Known nationally as the “EcoDEEP Haus,” this award-winning architect-designed residence has been featured in Architect & Spaces Magazine, World's Greenest Home television program, and other green building publications for its groundbreaking sustainable design and exceptional energy performance! Originally a 1940s Cape Cod, this completely transformed high-performance showpiece has 5-bedrooms, 3-bathrooms and seamlessly blends modern architecture & environmental stewardship with everyday livability! You'll love the light-filled interiors with open and flexible living spaces, dramatic architectural lines, expansive windows, and thoughtfully selected sustainable materials throughout! With 4 bedrooms upstairs and a 5th in the lower level there's also a main level office that could easily be used as a 6th bedroom; perfect for guests or multigenerational living! The environmentally thoughtful design continues outdoors with native and adaptive landscaping requiring minimal irrigation, a rain garden supplied by roof runoff plus a vegetated LiveRoof system planted with native sedums and pollinator-friendly species! Though it can easily be removed, the green roof helps manage stormwater, reduces summer heat absorption, and creates habitat for birds, butterflies, and bees! There are also multiple patios, raised garden beds and plenty of room to run outside on the huge double lot! Located just blocks from the Mississippi River, parks, schools, public transit, Lunds & Byerlys, Highland Cafe & Bakery and many other shops & restaurants, this remarkable residence offers a rare combination of future-focused living, cutting-edge sustainability, and timeless modern design in one of Saint Paul’s most desirable neighborhoods. All this turn-key home needs is YOU!
