Charming classic bungalow in pristine, move-in condition! This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 1-bath home seamlessly blends timeless character with high-quality modern upgrades. A rare 2.5-car heated garage and extensive improvements throughout truly set this property apart. The bright, open main level showcases gleaming hardwood floors and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The thoughtfully redesigned kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a Viking range hood, and warm cork flooring—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The renovated bath offers clean, tasteful finishes. The dining room opens to a spacious 16' x 16' maintenance-free deck with a wraparound ADA-compliant ramp, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The fully fenced backyard includes a new 7-foot privacy fence for added seclusion. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the impressive 24' x 30' heated garage with 10-foot ceilings, spray foam insulation, coated floors, upgraded opener, and dedicated workshop space. A newly poured 12-foot-wide concrete driveway, along with new walks and steps, enhances both function and curb appeal. Significant upgrades include a heat pump system with commercial-grade multi-split (including the upper level), enhanced insulation on the main floor and basement, spray foam insulation upstairs with new drywall and flooring, custom awnings on south and east exposures, and an 11' x 11' storage shed. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully improved, this home offers comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind—all in one of St. Paul’s most desirable neighborhoods, close to top-rated schools, dining, shopping, and parks.
