Property Description

Welcome home to this 1914 bungalow, loved and well cared for the past seventeen years. Not just in an emotional way, but in a $90K-of-updates-in-the-past-two-years, save-every-receipt kind of way.The main floor feels spacious in a way homes this age usually don't. Nine-foot ceilings, original oak woodwork, hardwood floors, and a large dining room that flows straight from the living room. Two of the three bedrooms are on the main level, and one works well as an office. The enclosed front porch is perfect for sipping coffee, soaking up the sun and a gentle breeze, and enjoying slow mornings.The 2020 kitchen remodel brought quartz countertops, white subway tile, slate floors, and a pantry with a heated floor (yes, the pantry). The full bathroom went down to the studs that same year and features a new subfloor, soaking tub, matte black fixtures, in-floor heat, and new plumbing and main stack.Upstairs, the third bedroom is a finished, wide-open level. Keep it as a quiet retreat, add a second bath, or split it into two bedrooms.Then there's the basement. If you're expecting the usual Saint Paul dungeon, you won't find it. Glass block windows let in natural light, and drain tile and wall encapsulation were installed in 2024, both under transferable warranties (lifetime and 25-year), along with a new sump pump. There's also a freshly painted floor, a tuned-up boiler, and plenty of square footage ready for your plans.The updates run deep. All-new windows, a professionally painted exterior, James Hardie cedar shakes, and front and rear Trex landings in 2024, then professional interior painting and new carpet in 2026. The roof carries a transferable 50-year manufacturer warranty and a lifetime labor warranty. A 2-car garage plus an open carport for VIP guest parking.Location is the one thing you can't change. Centrally located in the Twin Cities, with much of the metro within 15 to 20 minutes. Great local restaurants like Bewick Cafe and the Lexington Pkwy Green Line station are just a few blocks away. Griggs Park is just north, Como Park and its zoo and conservatory about a mile. The State Fairgrounds and Can Can Wonderland are within 3 miles, and Allianz Field is a few light rail stops away.
