A 1923 bungalow with three bedrooms and one bathroom, on a 0.1-acre lot
This house is in the Willard-Hay neighborhood, a few blocks from Willard Park. It is within walking distance of several amenities: the sports fields and seasonal water park at North Commons Park; Theodore Wirth Regional Park, an expanse of more than 700 acres with a lake, walking trails and a clubhouse; and the Capri, a performing arts center built in 1927. Public elementary and high schools are within a five-minute drive.
Driving to downtown or the Mississippi River waterfront takes about 10 minutes. St. Paul is about half an hour away.
Size: 2,314 square feet
Price per square foot: $119
Indoors: Concrete steps lead up from the sidewalk to the main entry, where a door opens to an enclosed porch. A second door opens into a small foyer.
Beyond is a sunny living room with street-facing windows and hardwood floors that continue through a wide arch into a windowed dining room with built-in cabinetry.
This space connects to an updated kitchen with new cabinets, counters and stainless steel appliances. A door to the backyard is also in this part of the house.
Two bedrooms are on this level, at either end of a hallway extending from the dining room; each is large enough to comfortably hold a queen-size bed. A bathroom with a combined tub and shower is off the same hallway.
Whether you’re renting, buying or selling, here’s a look at real estate trends.
A Lack of ‘Pet-Inclusive’ Housing: For renters, pet fees and breed and size restrictions make it hard to keep their families together in a tough market. Some lawmakers are listening.
Ask Real Estate: A reader who lives in a Manhattan condominium wants to know why their property taxes are higher than other dwellings in New York City.
Repurposing Empty Churches: With vaulted ceilings and stained-glass windows, the architectural features of abandoned houses of worship have become huge draws for business owners.
Can Urban Design Have a Gender?: A new planned community in Vienna is built on the urban design philosophy known as “gender mainstreaming.” Not everyone is convinced.
