Excellent opportunity just blocks from Lake Como! This beautifully updated home is ready for its next prideful owners. The brand-new roof and siding will provide peace of mind for years to come! Nestled in the perfect location along a quiet stretch of Simon Avenue, this property allows easy access to all the Como Park amenities while being very close to both downtown St Paul and Minneapolis. Enjoy a refreshed spacious main level, with an open layout set to entertain family and friends. The bright inviting kitchen was remodeled in 2018 with new appliances, plumbing, duct work, and bamboo engineered flooring throughout.

Settle in upstairs with a full bath and 3 inviting bedrooms, featuring a primary bedroom with a hard-to-find walk-in closet. Newer windows bring in outstanding natural light and help with efficient heating/cooling all year long. Plenty of storage space in the large closets, unfinished basement, and expansive garage. Beautiful outdoor spaces await on the traditional front porch, private backyard deck, and well-maintained lush lawn, all surrounded by your own white picket fence which welcomes you in from your personal driveway. Take pride coming home each day to this Como Area property. Reach out for a private showing!
