About this home

Historic Saint Paul Property available for an incredible price! The property is located on a quiet block with the entire North side of the street is owned by an well known Capital "C" institution. There is VERY little traffic on this street. This neighborhood has the EASIEST auto access to both East And West Interstate 94; multiple options for access to the home from I-94 via off-ramps at Mounds Blvd, Hwy 10, and 7th Street. Completion of the new Kellogg Street Bridge will further reduced traffic and allow improved access to Lowertown, Farmers Market, Christmas Market and Train, Union Station and Mears Park and much more. This Home was built in late 19th Century and has the original hardwood floors, a large, fenced in front yard and property-length Garden Cribs along the East Side of the property line. The large, two-car garage gives ample space for vehicles or storage. Foundation for garage was replaced in 1996 and the garage door opener was replaced 3 years ago. A Paved Alleyway gives easy access to the garage, carport and backyard. Home is sided with cedar and is freshly painted in high quality, exterior paint 3 years ago. The front porch has a new floor joist and custom made steps and railings. Outdoor paint applied to the decking 2 years ago. There is an entrance on the front porch, as well as an entrance in the enclosed, side porch to the East. Also, a basement entrance facing South. Both front and side door are double-doored and have wood/glass storm doors. There is ample room inside the anterior side porch for shoes and outdoor items. There is an alternative entrance to the upstairs portion of the home home via door inside the side porch. This access is through a second, unheated, interior stair case, Making this property ideal for creating a duplex. Inside, the home has two bedrooms on the first floor. Completely remodeled kitchen with quartz countertops, new window, and restored vintage wood floors. Both bedrooms have ceiling fans and windows with one having a view over the neighborhood roofs facing South. 2nd bedroom could be an entertainment room with large closet, ceiling fan, and windows. Floors in both rooms have been restored. Between the two rooms is a hallway and the entrance to the first-floor full bathroom. We kept the clawfoot tub, but renovated EVERYTHING else in this downstairs bath. New vanity and mirror, newly installed granite tile floors and wall treatments including shiplap, paint and lighting to finish the updated look. The Great room and dining converge for excellent hosting opportunities. Brick fireplace faces a replacement, bay window facing a chartered institution across the street to the North, and a second, recently replaced window facing East. Through a Oak wood trimmed portico is the dining room containing another set of 3 large, cantered bay windows. These Windows had their sash weights, ropes and brass insulation replaced 3 years ago. The ceilings are 11 ft in the dining room giving a wonderful aspect to the solid Oak, built-in. With Glass paned doors, shelves, and drawers this built-in holds anything you desire. Upstairs, Doug Fir hardwood floors have been covered with High Traffic Carpet Squares making it more quiet and cozy. There are two bedrooms upstairs. Both with large double windows. Both have had their insulation, sashweights and ropes replaced. The bathroom upstairs was completely replaced 3 years ago with brand new plumbing, toilet, shower/bath, interior walls, vanity, fan, lighting and electrical. The floor was repaired and new flooring put down. The upstairs has easy access to a "Same-floor" attic space. This attic space is convertible into living quarters, allowing for the possibility of a DUPLEX. The second, unheated staircase leads from the side-porch to this 2nd floor, unheated attic space. Home was professionally appraised on 01/29/26 for 240K. Report available on request.

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.
