About This Home

Welcome to 1566 Grotto Street North, a classic Como Park charmer that blends thoughtful updates with unbeatable location. Tucked on a quiet street just blocks from Como Lake, the golf course, zoo, and Lakeside Pavilion, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow offers everyday access to some of Saint Paul’s most beloved green spaces and attractions.

Step inside to a warm, inviting layout with original hardwoods and natural light. The roof (under 3 years old), newer furnace and AC, and spacious 2-car garage provide modern peace of mind—while leaving room to personalize and add value. Downstairs, the lower level presents a great opportunity to expand with a future 3rd bedroom by adding an egress window.

Walk to summer concerts at the pavilion, Saturday mornings at the park, or grab brunch and coffee at local favorites like Colossal Cafe, Karol Coffee Co., or a scoop at Conny’s Creamy Cone. When you’re craving a night out, you’re just minutes from neighborhood staples like Mim’s Cafe, Nelson Cheese & Deli, or a Loons match at Allianz Field—all without leaving the area.

Whether you’re looking for your first place, a smart investment, or a long-term hold in one of Saint Paul’s most loved neighborhoods, this home offers lifestyle, location, and long-term potential in equal measure.

The sellers are offering a credit for a new fridge, so you can choose what suits your kitchen best—while a virtually staged version helps you picture the possibilities. With quick access to both downtowns, this is city living with a community feel, steps from parks, trails, and the pulse of the Como scene.
