Lovingly owned and cared for by the same family since it was built, this classic North St. Paul rambler reflects decades of thoughtful care. Located at the entrance of the Mary Joe Lane neighborhood, a quiet pocket with no through streets, it offers a peaceful setting near sidewalks, schools, and Southwood Nature Preserve. Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, starting in the living room with its wood-burning fireplace. The dining area connects to a bright, redesigned kitchen with light cabinetry, new flooring, and a window overlooking the backyard and gardens. Three bedrooms and a full bath are also on the main floor. The lower level includes a second fireplace, a large recreation space, and shuffleboard built right into the floor. There is also a spacious laundry and work area, half-bath, plenty of storage, and additional space that could evolve to fit future needs. The park like backyard makes this home especially memorable. Carefully tended to over many years, it is private, peaceful, and filled with mature landscaping and established gardens. It feels removed from the city, even though schools, sidewalks, parks, and everything North St. Paul has to offer are close by. A newer concrete walkway leads to the detached, extra deep two-car garage. Updates include a new roof in 2021, updated windows, a high-efficiency furnace with electronic air cleaner, added attic insulation, a gutter filtration system, and a ProVia storm door with a transferable lifetime warranty. This is a home that has been cared for, enjoyed, and made part of one family's story; now it offers a wonderful opportunity for its next owner to make new memories and continue the story.
