**Multiple offers received. HIGHEST AND BEST due by 8:00 PM Saturday, June 20**
Tucked just off the parkway, this 1923 bungalow sits in the Chelsea Heights pocket of the Como neighborhood, one of St. Paul's true gems.Step through the front door and you're welcomed by a sunny three season porch, the kind of spot that makes it hard to leave in the morning or easy to linger long after dinner. The main floor offers a bedroom and a full bathroom. A formal dining room just off the kitchen is anchored by the original built-in hutch. The sweet kitchen that honors its history with original cabinetry while keeping things fresh with new countertops.Upstairs, you will find two more bedrooms, including a primary suite with its own ensuite bath.For a home that's nearly a century old, central AC is a lovely surprise. Out back, a new brick patio and fully fenced yard make outdoor living easy and private.But perhaps the biggest selling point is the neighborhood itself. Como has that rare combination of tucked-away calm and everyday convenience. Walkable to local coffee shops, Como Regional Park, Como Lake, and the trails that weave it all together. It's the kind of place where people move and never want to leave.
