Welcome to this Mac-Groveland charmer! Location abounds in this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home—walk to the River, Groveland Park Elementary, and Highland Village, or hop on the bike lanes along Cleveland to get anywhere with ease! This home beautifully blends classic character with modern updates. The updated kitchen features stone countertops and newer appliances (2023 refrigerator and dishwasher). The spacious main-floor living room is perfect for entertaining and includes a new 2025 mini-split A/C. The dining room highlights a period built-in, and the main-floor bedroom offers flexibility as an office or mudroom. Enjoy the refreshed front porch (2025) with fresh paint—ideal for morning coffee! Upstairs features a large, vaulted bedroom with his-and-her closets and 2024 A/C. The lower level includes a generous rec room, ¾ bath (2009), and bonus office space. The serene, low-maintenance backyard is filled with perennials and includes a deck, 2-car garage, additional parking, and storage shed (2021). Roof was updated in 2024- so many quality updates throughout—this move-in-ready home shines! A great value in one of St. Paul’s most beloved neighborhoods!
