About this home

This attractive 1.5-story home is located in a charming, tree-lined neighborhood served by the highly rated Somerset Elementary School. The main level features inviting living spaces with cove ceilings and a stone fireplace, along with a renovated full bath with a jetted tub and a spacious dining room that can also function as a home office. Upstairs you’ll find a large primary bedroom plus additional loft-style office space. An adorable three-season porch addition overlooks a private, fenced backyard with multiple garden areas, including new raised beds and a perennial pollinator garden in the front yard. The unfinished lower level currently provides abundant storage and offers excellent potential for future finishing. Recent improvements include a new AC unit in 2019, a new roof on the home, three-season porch, and garage in 2024, new carpet installed in January 2026, and exterior masonry work with chimney cap replacement. An oversized detached two-car garage adds to the functionality of the property. Ideally located within walking distance to Cherokee Park and local shops and restaurants along Smith Avenue, the home is also less than 10 minutes to downtown St. Paul, 15 minutes to MSP Airport, and 20 minutes to downtown Minneapolis.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
