Description

For rent starting September 1st 2026 (negotiable): 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath, two-story house, 1861 sq. ft. The residence is an updated century-old (1916) home that sits on a large, partially wooded lot. Its deck and screened porch give on to a yard with garden beds and fruit trees. The space feels like a country retreat, with Wicahapi Park and the St. Paul Municipal Forest just steps from the back door. Both of these sit on bluffs offering scenic views of the Mississippi and downtown St. Paul. Living, sleeping, and office (2) spaces are fully furnished. The main bathroom was renovated in 2022. Furnace heat/ductless AC, full kitchen w/ dishwasher and microwave, and washer/dryer in basement. Basement also includes an exercise bike and rowing machine. From the residence, one can quickly access I-94 and I-35E, making for a direct commute to all Twin Cities' colleges and universities. One Metro Transit bus line runs in front of the house and two others are within walking distance; all three go downtown and link with the light rail (Green Line) system. The St. Paul Grand Round trail passes behind the property, so biking to the city center, (2.5 miles, 10-12 minutes) and nearby Swede Hollow, Lake Phalen, and Battle Creek Parks is easy. No pets and non-smokers only, please. $2,500/mo. + deposit (utilities not included). We have a family dog (Belle, a coon hound mix) who will not travel with us. If you're willing to care for Belle while renting the house, we'll reduce the rent by $500.
