About this home
This 1889-built duplex in St. Paul’s sought-after West 7th neighborhood, offers immediate income from day one with multiple ways to increase its earning potential. The vacant 3-bedroom, 1-bath lower unit is freshly updated with new flooring, paint, lighting and ceiling fans, ready for an owner-occupant or new tenant. Upstairs, an existing tenant is leased at $1,900/month through June 2027, helping offset your mortgage from day one. Here’s where it gets interesting. The upper level includes a 1-bedroom/1-bath + loft AND a separate studio with its own entrance and ¾ bath. After the lease ends, explore converting the studio into a conforming third unit by adding a kitchenette, plumbing, separate utilities and obtaining required City approvals. Prefer to rent the entire property? The lower unit has an estimated market rent of approximately $2,100/month, creating potential for roughly $4,000/month in combined gross rent in its current duplex configuration. Each unit has its own washer/dryer, and major improvements including the roof, water heater, sump pump and appliances. An oversized 24x19 detached 2-car garage with tall ceilings, a small office and additional storage potential adds even more flexibility.
