Charming 1.5-story craftsman bungalow! Two ample bedrooms - one with large, walk-in closet - and a full bath on the main floor, plus a finished upper level and large, blank-slate basement with nice laundry area offer a ton of flexbility. Original and beautifully maintained wood floors, archway, and built-in buffet provide a classy warmth, while the enlarged and recently updated kitchen give you extra space and function usually missing in this traditional layout. Plenty of storage space and a huge 2.5-car garage, with an easy yard and an enclosed, brick rear patio that make it easy to entertain or just relax and enjoy an evening glass of wine. Plant a few flowers in the curbside garden boxes for low-maintenance curb appeal, or know that one or two tomato plants in the north box have historically provided more tomatoes than the seller and his neighbors and family can consume, well into early fall. Most convenient location in the metro. Downtown St. Paul, Roseville, Maplewood within 10 minutes; downtown Minneapolis, Woodbury, and south suburbs within 15-20; many diverse, upscale dining options along Payne Ave.; half a mile from Lake Phalen and a block off the Wheelock Pkwy bike path, with a connection to the Gateway Trail just a few blocks to the west. (The yard is almost fully fenced, with a small grass area enough for quick dog breaks - with the huge Arlington dog park just a couple blocks away.
