Fantastic opportunity to purchase an updated, cash flowing, up-down duplex just minutes from downtown St.
Paul! This South Frogtown gem is an ideal investment for those looking to owner-occupy or investors
looking to add to their portfolio…the numbers make sense. The units are nearly identical – both 2/1,
fresh & clean with newer windows and paint, each having their own separate electric and gas meters, as
well as updated electrical panels, separate high-efficiency furnaces and large capacity water heaters.
The shared basement space features a convenient laundry area and ample storage space for both units. A
partially fenced and private backyard lead to an alley accessed parking pad – no more on street parking!
Just steps to bus access, a few short blocks to the lightrail, and a few minutes to downtown St. Paul –
this location is just right for tenants or owner-occupied investors alike. Welcome to Frogtown!
