A 1912 two story with three bedrooms up, original natural woodwork, and larger windows that were added upstairs to bring light into the bedrooms. Out back is a 24x24 detached shop, fully insulated, with 10 foot ceilings, 240V service, and the heat on a programmable timer, and a covered carport beside it brings the total to three vehicles under cover. The main level plaster was taken down to the studs and the walls were reinsulated before new drywall went up. Every ceiling had the popcorn removed and was resurfaced with knockdown. Hardwood floors run under the carpet throughout. The roof was new in 2020, the water heater in 2023, and the electrical panel was updated to circuit breakers in 2015. Vinyl siding and an insulated attic mean the exterior never needs paint. The basement is full and unfinished with tall ceilings and stays very dry.
Located six blocks from the Green Line light rail and under a mile from Allianz Field, with Hamline University and the shops and restaurants along Snelling Avenue nearby. Easy access to I-94 and both downtowns.
