A residence that once belonged to the iconic author F. Scott Fitzgerald is for sale.
The home in St. Paul, Minnesota is where Fitzgerald got his start and penned the manuscript to “The Side of Paradise.” The four-bedroom Victorian is listed at $625,000. The Washington Post has the scoop:
The 3,500-square-foot residence dating to 1889 is located at 599 Summit Ave., just blocks from the governor’s mansion in a leafy, upper-class neighborhood. The home has four bedrooms, including the one occupied by Fitzgerald in July and August of 1919. He was known to step out for cigarette breaks onto a narrow ledge beyond the bedroom windows. Attached to the wall next to a door is a brass speaking tube that he used to call down for lunch.
Fitzgerald’s Gatsby house on Long Island sold for $3 million earlier this year.
