79 Western Ave N

The Commodore is a 1920-built, masonry condominium conversion originally designed in an Art Deco idiom with stone and stucco exterior detailing. Mid-rise in scale, the building retains period features such as a formal entry foyer, public corridors with historic finishes, and dual elevators that serve stacked residential floors. Units vary from compact one-bed layouts to expansive combined penthouse flats and two-level maisonettes; many residences showcase high, vaulted or cathedral ceilings, corner exposures with multi‑pane windows, and built-in millwork including crafted mantels and custom closets. Interior updates are common—kitchens often feature quartz or granite counters and modern appliances while bathrooms blend vintage tile patterns with contemporary fixtures. Shared amenities emphasize convenience and neighborhood life: a planted courtyard, on-site Commodore Bar and restaurant, the adjacent Saint Paul Squash Club, secured heated underground parking with assigned stalls, elevator access to garage levels, and locker/storage space. Building services and dues typically cover utilities and maintenance components such as cable/internet, snow/lawn care, exterior upkeep, and professional management. Pet policies vary by unit owner/association rules. Located on Cathedral Hill near Summit Avenue and Selby/Grand corridors, the Commodore places residents within walking distance of restaurants, shops, cultural institutions, and regional transit connections, offering a historically textured, urban neighborhood lifestyle.
