Incredible opportunity to own a fully renovated, turn-key duplex in the heart of Saint Paul! Located at
597 Virginia Street in the Frogtown neighborhood, this property has undergone extensive updates, making
it an ideal investment for both seasoned investors and owner-occupants looking to offset their mortgage
with rental income. Nearly every major component of the property has been upgraded, reducing future
maintenance costs and offering peace of mind for years to come.
Both units feature updated kitchens and bathrooms, with the upper unit's kitchen renovated in 2020 and
all bathrooms fully redone in 2023. Sleek granite countertops were added in 2023, enhancing durability
and appeal. Major exterior improvements include a new roof, siding, and all soft metal installed in 2022,
along with gutter covers to further reduce maintenance.
The property also includes a full plumbing upgrade to modern PEX water lines throughout the kitchens and
bathrooms, completed in 2023. Additional enhancements include three newer windows in the lower unit,
fresh interior paint, and ceiling repairs in the upper unit (2024) and lower unit (2025), and a recently
added third bedroom in the lower unit, significantly increasing rental potential.
Both leases are currently month-to-month, offering flexibility to adjust rents or occupy a unit as
needed. Unit 1 rent increases to $1,650 in January 2026, and Unit 2 rent increases to $1,450 in January
2026, creating stronger projected income for the next owner.
Buyer's agent to confirm all measurements. No same-day showings; 36-48 hours' notice required due to
tenant occupancy.
This is a truly turn-key asset-perfect for an investor seeking a low-maintenance addition to their
portfolio or a buyer looking to live in one unit while collecting rent from the other. Rarely does
duplex with this level of updating come to market.
