In a neighborhood known for many turn-of-the-century homes, this nicely updated 1970s gem feels like new construction! If you appreciate the appeal of a more modern vintage with a thoughtfully-designed layout, and are looking for a turn-key, single-level home in a convenient neighborhood, this one is the perfect fit. The entire main level has been freshly painted, has brand new luxury vinyl flooring and features a spacious living room and dining space, three bedrooms with large closets and newer double-pane sliding windows, and freshly updated kitchen and full bathroom. The newly remodeled kitchen is a show stopper with its modern, crisp white cabinets and marble-like counters, new stainless steel gas range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave, and adjustable LED lighting. The kitchen also offers unexpected extra storage space with the large pantry and closet. The new bathroom also has undergone a full refresh with brand new LVP flooring, gorgeous white 48" vanity and mirror, and tub/shower surround. Buyers with a keen eye for the more practical aspects of home ownership will also be pleased to know that the home has a brand new roof, forced air furnace, and central A.C. The lower level is also surprisingly large and includes approximately 500 finished square feet, including a rec room with bar, two large flex rooms that could easily become bedrooms 4 and 5 by adding egress windows, a workshop/hobby room with built in benches, two bonus storage rooms, and a large open area with full laundry, including washer, gas dryer & sink. Large backyard with convenient storage shed. Close to Palace Playground, the West 7th Community Center, lots of great restaurants & retail, and downtown St. Paul, and easy access to 35E, 94, and only about 12 minutes to MSP airport. Quick close possible!
