Classic St. Paul character meets smart, livable updates in this well-cared-for home on Fairmount Ave. Every owner of this Fairmount Ave home has added their own touch, and now it is your turn! The main level welcomes you with warm hardwood floors, a tiled fireplace, and a sculptural plaster ceiling in the living room that draws comments from nearly every visitor. The living and dining rooms flow into a kitchen fully remodeled in 2023, with a farmhouse sink, stone counters, and a new Cafe induction range added in 2025. A rear family room and office feature fully custom woodwork and built-in cabinetry. The third floor offers real flexibility: a suite with two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a full kitchen, plus a large living area on part of the second floor with its own balcony. Use it as a private in-law or multi-generational space or a short-term rental. It has performed well as an Airbnb, and financials are available on request. Prefer a single home? Just open a door in the third-floor stairwell to live in it as an easy five-bedroom house with multiple living areas. Outside, a pergola-covered patio and fenced yard create a private place to gather. With more than 2,800 square feet of timeless character and flexible space, this is a rare chance to own a piece of St. Paul history and make it your own.
