About this home

Charming two-story home on a quiet street in the highly desirable Macalester-Groveland neighborhood of St. Paul. This spacious home offers four bedrooms, three baths, beautiful natural woodwork, and hardwood floors that showcase its classic character.

The home has been thoughtfully updated with new soffits, newer stainless steel kitchen appliances, and a new hot water heater and boiler installed this year, offering added comfort and peace of mind. The sought-after two-car garage provides convenience and valuable storage, plus a heated room above the garage that is perfect for crafts, a home office, exercise space, or private retreat.

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.
