$59,900
This is a wonderful 3-bedroom affordable Minnesota home packed with potential.
On the main level, you’ll find original hardwood floors, charming wood trim, and classic character throughout. The layout includes one bedroom, a full bathroom, a spacious living room, a dining room, and a convenient galley kitchen.
Upstairs gives you 2 more bedrooms. The basement is unfinished and has the laundry, utilities, and storage. Outside, there is a single detached garage. This house was affected by the flood of 2024. It needs a new furnace, central air, water heater, and electrical service. No flooding reached the main floor, as the water stayed in the basement only.

- Fewer entertainment and dining choices: If you like variety (concerts, major events, lots of restaurants), options may be more limited.
- Car dependence: Public transit is usually limited; having a reliable vehicle is typically important.
- Weather extremes: Minnesota winters can be tough (snow/ice), and summers can be hot/humid.
