Motivated seller offering flexible financing options on this one-of-a-kind Saint Paul triplex! For qualified buyers, seller is willing to do a Contract for Deed lower than 6% interest rate. Ask your agent for details and terms.

Rare opportunity to own a distinctive Victorian triplex blending timeless character with the peace of mind of newer construction. Originally relocated to its current location in the late 1980s, the home features a Victorian exterior while the foundation, plumbing, electrical, windows, and much of the interior were rebuilt during the move.

The property showcases charming period details, including vibrant Victorian paint colors, two front balconies, select original hardwood floors, and an inviting front porch. The desirable unit mix includes a spacious 2-bedroom plus nook apartment with a full front walk-out porch, offering excellent appeal for both owner-occupants and investors.

Numerous updates have been completed over the past few years, including fresh paint, new flooring, updated appliances, closet improvements, and more.

Outside, you'll find four off-street parking spaces and a generous backyard with alley access. Ideally located between the highly sought-after Cathedral Hill and Summit-University neighborhoods, you're just steps from Mississippi Market Co-op, popular restaurants, coffee shops, and boutique shopping, with quick access to I-94 and just minutes from downtown Saint Paul.

Whether you're looking to expand your investment portfolio or live in one unit while generating rental income from the others, this distinctive property offers an exceptional opportunity in one of Saint Paul's most desirable historic neighborhoods.
