Welcome to 162 Bates Avenue—an inviting, character-filled home in the heart of Saint Paul’s historic Dayton’s Bluff neighborhood. With four spacious bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and a cozy finished basement featuring a lounge nook and mini bar, this home offers a flexible layout with room to grow, create, and make it your own.
Several major updates have already been completed to give future owners peace of mind, including a new AMANA 97% efficiency furnace (2023), a power-vented water heater (2024), and a new exterior power mast (2023)—the conduit that connects electrical service from the utility pole to the home, a key and often overlooked component of a safe and updated electrical system.
Located in a tight-knit neighborhood known for its seasonal block parties and strong sense of community, this home also offers scenic bluff-top views and quick access to downtown Saint Paul, trails, and parks. You’ll love the friendly neighbors and the neighborhood’s rich history—once home to Dakota villages, early European settlers, and now a diverse and vibrant community of proud homeowners.
If you're looking for a home with space, history, and the chance to build equity with your personal touch, this one is ready for its next chapter. Showings begin Friday!
