1736 Hillcrest Avenue

Set on one of Highland Park's most beautiful and established tree-lined streets, 1736 Hillcrest Avenue presents a rare opportunity to own a substantial 1927 home in one of Saint Paul's most sought-after neighborhoods. Offering nearly 2,500 square feet, 5 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms, the home is rich with character, flexibility, and untapped potential. Hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and a spacious family room featuring built-in bookshelves, a wet bar, gas cooktop, and undercounter refrigerator provide a strong architectural foundation ready for the next owner's vision.
The versatile floor plan accommodates a variety of lifestyles, with a main-floor bedroom, a bathroom with a shower on every level, and spaces that easily support multigenerational living, guests, children, pets, or work-from-home needs. The spacious primary bedroom includes a cozy reading nook, while a second-floor bedroom offers built-in bed platforms and the adjacent office features brand-new flooring. Recent improvements include a brand-new roof, upgraded electrical panel, fresh paint in many rooms, and a freshly painted deck overlooking the fenced backyard.
A rare street-level driveway provides easy access to the garage, while the finished lower level offers additional living space ideal for recreation, exercise, hobbies, or a home theater. Just a short walk from Highland Village, Highland National Golf Course, and a variety of public, private, and parochial schools, this is an opportunity to invest in location, space, and long-term potential in one of Saint Paul's most enduring neighborhoods.
