Fantastic opportunity to own a spacious up/down duplex in the highly desirable Macalester-Groveland neighborhood. This vacant property is ideal for owner-occupants looking to offset their mortgage with rental income, for multigenerational living, or for investors seeking a strong addition to their portfolio. Both units feature a similar layout with only minor variations, offering two generously sized bedrooms, one full bathroom, and spacious living and dining areas.
The main-level unit mirrors the same comfortable flow and generous room sizes, making it equally appealing to both tenants and owner-occupants. The upper-level unit stands out with a bright, oversized kitchen that includes ample cabinet space and a cozy sitting area overlooking the backyard with attractive white fencing. It also offers bonus spaces such as a sunroom and a nook, perfect for a home office or reading area. The attic, previously used by a former owner as a full library, holds up to 250 pounds per sq. ft, adding further potential for unique use. A full basement includes shared laundry facilities and an abundance of storage space, accommodating both tenant needs and owner storage.A rare enclosed breezeway connects the home with an enclosed porch to a 2.5 -car garage, providing plenty of room for a workbench, bikes, and more, along with the convenience and protection of covered access in all seasons.
Recent updates include refinished hardwood floors throughout most of the home, new flooring in both kitchens, and fresh paint across nearly all interior spaces, including the basement floors and walls. These improvements enhance the home's classic character while delivering a fresh, move-in-ready feel.
Located in a vibrant, walkable neighborhood just steps from Groveland Tap, a local grocery store, and other community favorites, this home offers unbeatable access to both downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis, with nearby connections to major highways, the airport, and multiple bus lines including direct routes to the University of Minnesota. Whether you're looking for a primary residence with income potential or a well-located investment, this property offers flexibility, charm, and lasting value in one of the Twin Cities’ most beloved neighborhoods.
