Property Description
On approximately 0.273 acres, the historic main house welcomes you with an expansive covered front porch and distinctive Craftsman character. Extensive updates include flooring, paint, interior doors, trim, hardware, lighting, cabinetry, countertops, backsplashes, appliances, and three renovated bathrooms. Improvements to HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and ventilation add modern convenience. The main house roof was replaced in 2020. A spacious rear deck and outdoor grilling and gathering areas invite relaxation beyond the interiors.
LEGALLY A DUPLEX, the 1,478-square-foot main house offers extraordinary versatility. The left residence includes a living room, bedroom, full bath, renovated full kitchen, and charming built-in breakfast nook. The right residence has two bedrooms, two full baths, two kitchenettes, and two individual washer/dryer areas. It may be enjoyed as one two-bedroom residence or configured as two more private studio-style spaces, each with its own bathroom, kitchenette, laundry, and exterior entry. Interior connections also allow BOTH sides of the duplex to open together, so the entire house lives as a three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence. Additional separate occupancy beyond the legal duplex configuration is subject to applicable approvals.
The detached cottage at 1609 S. Mint was thoughtfully designed to complement the architecture and historic charm of the original home. Traditional siding, tapered porch columns, wood detailing, and carefully considered proportions make this 2026 addition feel right at home. Inside approximately 734 heated square feet are an open living/dining area, equipped kitchen, bedroom, and beautifully finished bath with a freestanding soaking tub and separate glass-enclosed shower. A 140-square-foot covered front porch and approximately 43 square feet of unheated storage complete the cottage.
The main duplex and ADU are separately metered with separate utilities. Other highlights include private exterior entrances, dedicated workspaces, high-speed internet, smart keyless entry, dedicated laundry, landscaped grounds with irrigation, a separate storage building, and FIVE on-site parking spaces when Mint Street is purchased independently. One space currently serves the adjoining West Park Avenue ADU if the parcels are held together. Seller reports required permits, inspections, and Historic District approvals for completed renovations and new construction.
Documented Airbnb history adds investment appeal: following completion and booking of the new ADU, Mint Street averaged approximately $11,457 in monthly GROSS Airbnb earnings June-September 2026. Figures are before operating expenses and do not guarantee future income; earnings statements available upon request. Buyers should verify applicable rental and occupancy regulations.
Near neighborhood favorite Pasta & Provisions, South End dining, breweries, shops and entertainment, Bank of America Stadium, Uptown, and light rail. The adjoining West Park Avenue property, with its own renovated historic residence and detached guest cottage, is also offered for sale. Both parcels are available together for $2,500,000, creating a harmonious collection of four residential buildings.
