Property Description

Welcome home to this classic up-and-down duplex on a corner lot in St. Paul’s vibrant Midway neighborhood! Combining original 1920s character with important modern updates, this well-maintained property offers exceptional flexibility for an owner-occupant, house hacker, investor or buyer looking to share a home with friends or family. With two separate units, separate entrances and separate addresses, the property offers an excellent opportunity to offset your housing costs while building equity. Live in one unit and rent the other, purchase with friends and share expenses, or use the property as an investment for future appreciation. Each unit features two bedrooms and one full bath, with hardwood floors, wide woodwork and charming vintage details throughout. The main-level unit features natural woodwork in the living room and separate dining room, an updated bathroom vanity and sink, and a kitchen with stainless-steel appliances. The upper unit also features natural woodwork in the living and dining rooms, an updated bathroom vanity and sink, and newer vinyl windows. Each unit has its own washer and dryer located in the separate unfinished basement. The basement also offers excellent potential for future finishing as an office, family room, hobby space or additional living area. The two-car garage features an interior divider wall, with additional driveway parking in front of each garage—especially convenient during winter snow emergencies. The corner lot offers plenty of yard space and great potential for gardens and outdoor enjoyment. The corner location at Thomas Avenue and Syndicate Street N brings abundant natural light through south- and east-facing windows. Just three blocks from University Avenue METRO Green Line LRT stops, making access to downtown St. Paul, Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota especially convenient. Allianz Field, Target, local cafés, Hamline University, Concordia University and Gaultier Community Elementary are all within approximately one mile.
