    Overview

    This duplex is offered for sale with two units in a residential income configuration. According to the remarks, one side is currently vacant while the other side is rented on a month-to-month lease, creating flexibility for an owner who wants occupancy options or immediate rental continuity.

    The property is located at 701 Desoto Street in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in Ramsey County (55130). The total lot size is listed at 0.05 acres, and the property size is shown as 1,519 square feet.

    For buyers seeking a small multifamily setup, the current vacancy on one side can support an owner-occupant scenario or provide a straightforward path to re-tenanting. At the same time, the existing month-to-month tenant on the other side may help reduce downtime risk versus a fully vacant duplex. As with any residential income property, interested parties should review lease terms and unit conditions directly as part of their due diligence.
