Set on Grand Ave. in the highly sought-after Mac-Groveland neighborhood, this beautifully maintained two-story home is just blocks from the University of St. Thomas. A prime investment opportunity or owner-occupied residence, this property has been a successful student rental for 25 years with zero vacancies—a true testament to its unbeatable location and appeal.
Step inside to gleaming original hardwood floors and abundant natural light that fills the main and upper levels. The kitchen was a top to bottom renovation with ample cabinet & counter space and informal dining area. Cozy up by the fireplace in the living room or enjoy year-round relaxation in the four-season porch with electric baseboard heat. Convenient laundry room and updated 3/4 bath complete the main level.
The second level features 4 bedrooms and a recently renovated full-bath. A one of a kind primary retreat spans the entire third level with vaulted ceilings, private 3/4 bath and massive walk-in closet.
The unfinished basement offers full ceiling height, plumbing for an additional bath, and easy finishing potential for extra living space. Outside, a maintenance-free deck overlooks the backyard, while the two-car detached garage plus two additional parking spaces ensures ample parking in the alley. With recent capital improvements including new windows and mini-splits with heat pumps, this home offers both character and modern efficiency. Whether you’re looking for a turnkey investment or a charming owner-occupied home, this property delivers on every level.
Located just steps from shopping, dining, and St. Thomas, with easy access to public transit and major roadways, this is a rare opportunity to own in one of St. Paul’s most coveted neighborhoods. Schedule your showing today!
