Charming Fixer-Upper with Huge Upside – Perfect for Investors or DIY Buyers! 

Bring your vision and unlock the full potential of this classic mid-century home. Set on a mature, tree-shaded lot with plenty of privacy, this property is ideal for investors, rehabbers, or anyone looking for a value-add opportunity only a short walk away from Mayo Clinic Hospital - Saint Marys Campus, restaurants, city parks, and grocery shopping.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious layout with three upper-level bedrooms and flexible living areas that can easily be reconfigured or updated to suit modern tastes. Several rooms feature original walnut paneling and original MC tiles, offering character and warmth that can be restored or redesigned. Large windows provide natural light throughout, and the practical room sizes give you a strong starting footprint to work with rather than having to add on.

- Solid structure and established neighborhood setting. 
- Flexible interior layout ready for redesign.
- All your needs within walking distance.
- Excellent opportunity to add value through renovation.

If you’re looking for a project with upside instead of paying top dollar for someone else’s finishes, this is the one to see.
