About this home

Rare opportunity to own nearly ¾ of an acre in sought-after Mendota Heights. Set on a private .73-acre corner lot just blocks from the Mississippi River, nearby parks, and only 10 minutes from downtown St. Paul, this well-maintained home offers an exceptional combination of location, character, and future potential. Timeless details including hardwood floors, coved ceilings, arched doorways, and three fireplaces create warmth throughout, while large windows (replaced approximately 2018) fill the home with natural light. The main level features spacious living and dining areas, a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, two generously sized bedrooms, and a full bath. The inviting four-season porch with fireplace and French doors opens to the expansive backyard, where you’ll find an outdoor fireplace, patio, chicken coop, and plenty of space to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the privacy of this rare setting. The lower level offers a family room with fireplace, a ¾ bath, abundant storage, and potential to add a third bedroom. A unique opportunity to enjoy a large lot, quiet neighborhood, and classic character in one of Mendota Heights’ most desirable locations.

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.
