Charming Merriam Park East Duplex – Spacious, Versatile & Full of Potential!
Discover an exceptional opportunity in the heart of Merriam Park East with this well-loved 2/1 & 1/1 duplex—ideal for owner-occupants, multi-generational living, or savvy investors. With potential homestead taxes of just $4,238 (per Ramsey County), the numbers make sense, and the lifestyle possibilities are even better.
The main floor unit welcomes you with hardwood floors, a cozy gas fireplace, and an open-concept living and dining space that feels warm and inviting. The upper unit offers great natural light, comfortable living areas, and its own generous front porch—perfect for coffee, reading, or a relaxing evening outside.
Both units enjoy separate gas and electric meters, spacious front porches, and access to a fenced backyard ready for gardening, outdoor dining, or pets. The property features a maintenance-free exterior, solid mechanicals, a 2-car garage plus additional off-street parking, and excellent basement storage with shared laundry.
A major bonus: the third-floor expansion potential—an opportunity to increase finished square footage, add value, or create a future owner’s suite.
Centrally located with unbeatable convenience: quick freeway access to both downtowns, close to area colleges, restaurants, shopping, parks, and public transit. With a little TLC, this classic St. Paul duplex will truly shine.
Whether you're building your investment portfolio or looking for a home that helps pay the mortgage, this property is a must-see!
