2221 Selby Avenue, Saint Paul, MN 55104

The location and updates of this fabulous Shadow Falls 3-BR-UP 2-story are totally dialed. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street west of Cretin and just a few blocks from Mississippi River Blvd., Town & Country and St. Thomas, this property has been genuinely loved and thoughtfully improved.

Outside, the landscaping is spectacular. Outstanding retaining walls and new patios and sidewalks showcase dreamy perennial gardens. The private, fenced backyard boasts a paver patio shaded by a large crabapple as well as a second flagstone patio that's perfect for bonfires.

The charming original woodwork, gorgeous open staircase, brick fireplace and original maple hardwood floors will speak to your need for authenticity, while major updates including modern HVAC with newer furnace and AC, completely renovated kitchen, and whole-house rewiring supported by a new 200-amp electrical service check off the practicality boxes.

And yes, the original garage has officially peaced-out. In its place: a fabulous oversized two-car garage ready to support your big life. Bonus fact: This home is a short bike ride to the University of Minnesota--maybe 15 minutes to the main campus, and 10 to the St. Paul campus. If you can tear yourself off the gorgeous walking trails along the river, there are multiple restaurants within easy walking distance including award-winning Mario's, Los Ocampos and Longfellow Grill.
