Located in the heart of St. Paul’s sought-after Highland Park neighborhood, this beautifully updated home offers the space and amenities of newer construction in an established, walkable setting. An extensive 2013 renovation included the addition of a second level and created a bright, open-concept main floor ideal for everyday living and entertaining. A rare main-floor bedroom and full bathroom offer wonderful flexibility for guests, a home office, or one-level living needs. Upstairs, the private primary suite features a spacious four-piece bathroom with dual sinks and a large walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and the convenience of second-floor laundry complete this level. The finished lower level provides even more living space with a generous family room, three-quarter bathroom, and a large bonus room that could become a legal fifth bedroom with the addition of an egress window. Outside, enjoy a private, fully fenced backyard with a patio and custom-built pergola, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The garage includes a valuable third tandem stall, providing exceptional space for storage, bikes, recreational gear, or a workshop. Recent improvements include new appliances and mechanicals. All of this in an incredible Highland Park location within walking distance of Highland Village shopping, restaurants, coffee, fitness, and everyday conveniences, with easy access to parks, trails, both downtowns, and MSP Airport.
