The story

About this home

Nestled on a storied street in West 7th, this duplex presents a unique confluence of classic architectural character and astute financial planning. The ivy-clad facade, a testament to its enduring presence, welcomes residents and visitors alike, hinting at the warm, light-filled interiors within. Original hardwood floors gleam under ample sunlight, preserving the home's authentic charm while offering modern comfort. Each unit is thoughtfully designed, providing inviting living spaces that feel both private and expansive, reflecting a quality of life deeply rooted in the neighborhood's rich heritage.

Beyond its picturesque aesthetics, 738 Watson Avenue functions as a robust investment. With one unit already leased through 2027, this property ensures a stable, immediate income stream, alleviating the typical concerns of new ownership. The ability to offset a mortgage through rental income, or to expand an existing portfolio with a reliably occupied asset, positions this duplex as a genuinely intelligent acquisition. Its practical layout includes a two-car garage and a generous unfinished basement, adding valuable utility and storage space for both occupants.

This isn't merely a building; it's a strategic asset in a thriving community. The home's distinct character and proven rental history underscore its intrinsic value, making it a rare find for those seeking both tangible beauty and financial foresight. It represents an opportunity to own a piece of Saint Paul's architectural legacy while securing a solid foundation for the future, whether as an owner-occupant or a dedicated investor.
