Welcome home to 1966 Jefferson Avenue a comfortable, light-filled 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-family home with roughly 2,164 finished square feet in one of Saint Paul's most sought-after neighborhoods. The main level offers a welcoming living space, a dedicated dining area, and a functional kitchen that flows naturally for day-to-day living and for hosting.
What really sets this house apart is the bonus space. Off the back of the home you'll find a three-season room the perfect spot for morning coffee, a reading nook, or a casual dinner and a private deck that makes backyard hangs easy all summer long. And above the detached two-car garage, there's a large finished loft that you can use however fits your life: home office, yoga studio, art or craft room, music room, playroom, clubhouse, or a quiet retreat away from the main house. It's the kind of bonus square footage that's genuinely rare in a rental.
Three bedrooms on the main floor give the family or roommates real room to spread out. The home has two bathrooms one on the main/upper level and a second bath with a standup shower in the basement so guests and morning schedules aren't fighting for the same sink. The basement also provides generous space for laundry, storage, office, a home gym, or a rec room.
Outside, you'll enjoy a yard, two-car garage with the bonus loft, deck, and the three-season room a rare and welcome combination in this part of the city. The location is hard to beat: a short walk to Grand Avenue, an easy bike or drive to the Mississippi River parkways, Summit Avenue, Highland Park, and both Macalester and St. Thomas. Easy access to I-35E and Highway 5 puts downtown Saint Paul, downtown Minneapolis, and MSP airport all within a comfortable commute.
