About this home

Welcome to this exceptional Craftsman-style two-story home nestled in the heart of St. Paul’s highly sought-after Macalester-Groveland neighborhood. Situated on a picturesque, tree-lined block, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence blends timeless character with modern comfort and thoughtful design. Set proudly above the street behind a charming picket fence, the home showcases exquisite original craftsmanship, including natural woodwork, leaded-glass windows, built-in bookcases, and elegant arched doorways. A sunny east-facing front porch welcomes you into the spacious living room, which flows seamlessly into the formal dining room featuring a handsome built-in buffet—perfect for entertaining and everyday living. The heart of the home is the custom-designed chef’s kitchen, offering quartersawn oak cabinetry, granite countertops, classic subway tile, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, and abundant workspace. The kitchen opens to a light-filled family room with a cozy fireplace and views of the expansive backyard. Step outside to enjoy the large paver patio, level yard, and a rare oversized 3-car garage featuring 11foot ceilings and a versatile storage loft. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, an updated full bath, and an extraordinary primary suite complete with vaulted ceilings, walls of windows, a walk-in closet, and a private ensuite bath. The unfinished lower level offers excellent future expansion potential, complete with an egress window and ample space to create additional living areas, a home office, fitness room, or guest suite. Meticulously maintained and rich in character, this special home offers an outstanding opportunity to enjoy one of St. Paul's most beloved neighborhoods, just moments from parks, shops, restaurants, and everything Macalester-Groveland has to offer.

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.
