Character, location, and dependable rental appeal come together in this classic West 7th duplex. Each of the two units offers inviting living spaces filled with natural light, beautiful hardwood floors, and the timeless charm renters love. The distinctive ivy-covered exterior and enclosed front porch create memorable curb appeal, while the clean, functional interiors make this an excellent addition to an investment portfolio—or a fantastic opportunity for an owner-occupant looking to offset their mortgage with rental income. One unit is currently leased for $1,525 per month through May 31, 2027, providing immediate, stable income. Additional highlights include a two-car garage and generous unfinished basement space for storage and added utility. Situated in an consistently desirable rental area, the property has always been easy to rent. Enjoy a highly walkable neighborhood with coffee shops, breweries, restaurants, and everyday conveniences nearby, plus quick access to downtown St. Paul and major roadways.
