Just two blocks from the Mississippi River, this inviting Macalester-Groveland home pairs classic character with thoughtful updates and everyday convenience. A welcoming porch introduces warm hardwood floors, charming built-ins, and a gas fireplace that anchors the living room. Image watching the first snowfall of the year sitting in front of the cozy fireplace. The dining room flows into an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and a cozy breakfast nook. Generously sized bedrooms complement an updated bathroom, while the spacious, open upper level offers a relaxing retreat with room for a sitting area. Top-down/bottom-up shades upstairs let you balance natural light and privacy, and a laundry chute adds a practical touch of vintage charm. The expansive basement includes an additional bathroom, abundant storage, and potential for future finishing. Outside you will find five trees on the lot: 3 cherry trees which have provided scumptious jam; a Japanese lilac and a towering white spruce. The manageable lot leaves more time to enjoy the neighborhood. Walk to nearby amenities, access public bus routes, or head toward the river for a daily stroll. An annual block party adds to the neighborhood’s welcoming atmosphere. Owner says that you will see every dog within a ten-mile radius being walked every day and they all look like their owners. You may enjoy the close proximity to the beautiful St Catherine campus with its library and nearby coffee shops. It is also convenient to St Thomas and Macalester College. Classic Saint Paul charm, useful updates, and river proximity—all in one appealing package.
