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.
