About the building

Bonus loft above the garage Three-season porch Private deck Flexible academic-year lease Welcome to 1966 Jefferson Avenue, a light-filled home with… roughly 2,164 finished square feet in one of Saint Paul's most walkable neighborhoods. The main level offers a welcoming living room, a dedicated dining area, and a kitchen that flows easily for everyday life and for hosting. What really sets this house apart is the bonus space. Off the back of the home, a three-season room is the perfect spot for morning coffee, a reading nook, or a casual dinner, and it opens onto a private deck that makes backyard hangs easy all summer. Above the detached two-car garage, a large finished loft gives you space that's genuinely rare in a rental: home office, studio, yoga or music room, playroom, or a quiet retreat of your own. The main floor has two full bedrooms plus a smaller third room that works well as a nursery, office, or guest space. Two full bathrooms, one on the main level and a second with a stand-up shower in the basement, mean mornings and guests don't compete for the same sink. The basement also has generous room for laundry, storage, a home gym, or a rec space. Outside you get a yard, the two-car garage with its bonus loft, the deck, and the three-season room, a combination that's hard to find in this part of the city. Location is unbeatable: a short walk to Grand Avenue, an easy bike or drive to the Mississippi River parkways, Summit Avenue, and Highland Park, and minutes from Macalester and St. Thomas. Easy access to I-35E and Highway 5 puts downtown Saint Paul, downtown Minneapolis, and MSP airport within a comfortable commute.
