Live in One, Rent the Other—Duplex Dreams in West 7th! Welcome to the kind of opportunity that doesn’t come around every day—unless you're one of the lucky ones scrolling MLS at work. This West 7th duplex sits in the heart of one of St. Paul’s most walkable and charming neighborhoods—think local coffee shops, leafy parks, and an actual sense of community. This neighborhood feels like a small town.
The property has been lovingly cared for by a handy couple who know their way around a toolbox. It was actually home for them, So instead of the usual landlord-grade updates, you'll find thoughtful touches and solid upgrades that make life easier (and more enjoyable) for both you and your future tenants.
The main level features a spacious three-bedroom unit with great natural light, cozy living spaces, and a layout that says, “kick your shoes off and stay a while.” Upstairs, the two-bedroom unit offers plenty of space and privacy for renters, roommates, or out-of-town guests who keep saying they’re “just staying for the weekend.”
Whether you're looking to house-hack and let the upper unit help pay your mortgage (smart), or add a well-maintained asset to your portfolio (also smart), this property gives you flexibility, livability, and location—all wrapped in one.
