Property Description

Welcome to 491 Cretin Ave S, a stately home in the heart of Highland Park. You're greeted upon entry with stunning millwork and original architectural details throughout. The main level features a spacious living room with built-ins, stained glass windows, and a gas fireplace (2020), flowing into a formal dining room and fully renovated kitchen — updated down to the plumbing and electrical in 2020. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, a fully remodeled bathroom (2022), and a sun-drenched office space that overlooks the backyard. The basement offers 8'+ ceilings and a blank slate ready for whatever you need. The home offers the best of both worlds — reliable boiler heat and ductless mini-splits for efficient A/C! Outside, enjoy a deep lot with a deck, wood privacy fence, bonfire seating area, private driveway, and two-car garage. Classic Saint Paul character with all the modern updates!
