240 1/2 Western Avenue S G2 Welcome to the historic charm of Lauer Flats. Completed in 1890, the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, Lauer Flats retains its vintage character throughout, while each unit is a unique living space. Painted original wood trim and high ceilings are complemented by marble sills below the deeply inset windows and the fireplace surround. This end unit has a working wood-burning fireplace in the living room and a pellet stove in an upstairs bedroom for cozy winter warmth. Unexpected modern elements like recessed ceiling lighting and ball top newels on the stairwell add interest. New Andersen Renewal windows throughout reduce drafts and street noise. The bathroom has been recently renovated, kitchen appliances are stainless steel, and there are in-unit laundry facilities. There is a deck and panoramic view off the kitchen. Low HOA fees include water, yard work and snow removal and fund reserves for building upkeep. There is a basement storage area and off-street parking with charging stations for e-vehicles. Located a mile from downtown Saint Paul, it offers easy transportation to the airport and proximity to bike and nature paths off Shepard Road. Enjoy a great sense of community among the owners of the fourteen units at Lauer Flats.
