About This Home
As of August 2025A perfect blend of original Saint Paul charm and modern updates, this 3 bed, 2 bath home is filled with character and light. You'll love the preserved details like glass doorknobs, solid wood doors, and built-ins in the formal dining room-paired with beautiful hardwood floors throughout. Upstairs offers a surprisingly spacious layout with walk-in closets in all three bedrooms.
Outside, enjoy the peace of mind that comes with updated features: new vinyl siding (2020), drain tile and sump pump (2025), block windows in the basement, NTI hot water tank (2023), and gutters (2018). Just blocks from several universities, and within walking distance to local shops and restaurants -this location truly can’t be beat.
