1742 Portland Avenue is in a prime location near Macalester College, just one block north of Summit Avenue and is unlike any duplex currently or recently on the market! This is the perfect owner-occupant home with a stunning 3 bedroom, 2 bath owner’s unit on the second and third floors, plus income from the main floor rental unit.

Generally, a picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case, the photos simply don’t do justice to the quality and livability of this gorgeous building. Features include a handsome brick and stucco exterior, a beautiful front yard and a huge back yard with raspberry bushes, a patio, a double garage and a lovely water feature. A private tour is the only way to fully appreciate the opportunity that exists here. (Note: there is both a spiral staircase and a conventional stairway to the 3 rd floor)

The main floor is rented on a one year lease to a tenant who pays $1,200 per month PLUS all utilities. The unit consists of 2 bedrooms, a spacious living room and formal dining room, a nice kitchen and a sunroom which currently serves as office space. The main floor is virtually identical to the second floor, which is the 1 st level of the two-story owner’s unit. The lovely built-ins, natural woodwork and hardwood floors in the main floor unit are just like those in the owner’s unit..

The basement is clean, neat and dry. There are separate boilers, separate wiring, separate water heaters, a large laundry area, a “ping-pong” play area and two nice storage rooms.

But the real value is on the 2nd and 3rd floors, with an updated kitchen, formal dining room with built-in buffet, large living room, sunroom, two bedrooms and a full bath on the 2 nd floor, and a master bedroom suite including family room, huge bedroom, ¾ bath, laundry, office space and enormous closet space on the 3 rd floor. There is central air conditioning in this unit, too!

If you love this location, even if your plans were to own a single family home, you must see this home. Properties like this rarely come along. NOTE: New roof was installed in Sept, 2010.
