A Versatile Gem in an Unbeatable Location Steps from the Mississippi River, scenic trails, and the University of St. Thomas, this home blends historic character with modern versatility. It’s perfect as a family home or investment, with a separate side entrance making the basement easy to rent in a high-demand area. The owners have also had success renting it on Airbnb in the past. Inside, original hardwoods, a wood-burning fireplace, a sunroom, and a screened porch bring tons of natural light. The spacious primary suite features vaulted ceilings, and three bedrooms upstairs provide nice separation between living and hosting space. One of the only homes on Cretin Ave with a driveway and garage that are accessible from quiet Selby Ave, it offers a neighborhood feel with quick commutes to both downtowns. Don't miss the opportunity to take advantage of a community membership at UST, where you can walk to their fitness facilities/fields/track), coffee shop, bowling alley, and more.
