Fall in love with this beautiful craftsman-style home. Mr. Seller spent years refinishing the interior woodwork, restoring it to its original glory—and it truly shows. All electrical has been professionally updated to current codes and all knob & tube wiring removed. Enjoy the lovely flower beds and thoughtful landscaping that surround this classic St. Paul bungalow that sits just a block to Johnson High School and a short walk to Phalen Park – great location! The main level features two bedrooms and a bath, a beautiful living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room with a stunning built-ins, and an oversized kitchen that provides exceptional flow and functionality. The kitchen was expanded years ago to create a generous eat-in space. The upper level offers excellent potential for finishing and adding valuable above-ground square footage. The lower level includes a second finished bathroom and fantastic space for storage, a second living area, or hobbies. Outside, the oversized double garage provides even more storage, not to mention the additional parking space. A fenced backyard, along with a welcoming front porch, completes this charming property. Take a look at this one in person to appreciate the special features and old-world charm.
