Overview

Description

Great opportunity to own this classic and updated 2-story duplex in Saint Paul’s Merriam Park/Lexington-Hamline neighborhood. Built in 1903, it retains much original charm, especially on the first floor, while having many practical updates including a new roof in 2021 and updated siding. Mini-split A/C in lower unit. The first room you’re greeted with is a huge 3-season porch. The entryway to both units has the classic 1903 staircase. Unit one is on the main floor and has natural woodwork, a bay window, and stained glass. Both units have a similar floor plan. The master bedrooms are in front, and could be multi-purpose. They are both big enough for a king bed. The second bedroom is adjacent, and both bedrooms have good closet space. Both full bathrooms are updated. The main floor bath is off of the 2nd bedroom, and the upper unit bath is at the top of the back stairs. Clean basement with separated electrical. 2-yr old washer. Excellent 2-car garage with ample storage. Fully fenced back yard with a patio. Good walkability to shopping and transit.
