Fantastic opportunity to purchase an updated, cash flowing, up-down duplex just minutes from downtown St. Paul! This South Frogtown gem is an ideal investment for those looking to owner-occupy or investors looking to add to their portfolio...the numbers make sense. The units are nearly identical - both 2/1, fresh & clean with newer windows and paint, each having their own separate electric and gas meters, as well as updated electrical panels, separate high-efficiency furnaces and large capacity water heaters. The shared basement space features a convenient laundry area and ample storage space for both units. A partially fenced and private backyard lead to an alley accessed parking pad - no more on street parking! Just steps to bus access, a few short blocks to the lightrail, and a few minutes to downtown St. Paul - this location is just right for tenants or owner-occupied investors alike. Welcome to Frogtown!
