About this home

Timeless St. Paul character, beautifully cared for and thoughtfully updated. This inviting 4-bedroom, 2-bath home in desirable Merriam Park West is the kind of place that feels special the moment you walk through the door. With approximately a little over 2,000 finished square feet, it combines the craftsmanship and charm of an earlier era with updates that make everyday living comfortable and easy. Original woodwork, built-ins, hardwood floors, beautiful windows, and abundant natural light give the home a warmth and personality that simply can’t be replicated. The bright sunroom offers a peaceful place to enjoy your morning coffee, curl up with a book, or watch the seasons change. A wood-burning fireplace adds another layer of warmth and charm to the inviting living spaces. The backyard is a true extension of the home. Mature landscaping and beautiful perennial gardens surround an expansive paver patio, creating a wonderfully private setting for summer dinners, morning coffee, or gatherings with friends and family. It’s a space that invites you to slow down and enjoy being home. A new oversized 22' x 24' two-car garage adds valuable parking, storage, and flexibility, an exceptional bonus in this sought-after neighborhood. Meticulously cared for and thoughtfully updated over the years, this is a home with a story, a sense of place, and room for its next chapter. Ideally located just blocks from Summit Avenue, restaurants, Grandview Theater, and the University of St. Thomas, it offers the best of Merriam Park West: beautiful historic character, a welcoming neighborhood, and an enviable location.

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.
