Property details

About 212 4th St SW

Opportunity meets location in the heart of Mount Vernon. With nearly 2,000 square feet, a walkout lower level, and a layout that lives large, this home offers the kind of space that’s hard to find just blocks from schools, Cornell College, and Main Street. Three main-level bedrooms, two full baths—including a private primary suite—and generous windows throughout keep the space light and open. Downstairs, you’ll find a second living area, half bath, laundry with utility sink, and a fourth non-conforming bedroom, perfect for guests, hobbies, or a quiet home office. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard with mature trees, a raised deck, and a 10x12 shed ready for storage or weekend projects. Thoughtfully cared for and ready for its next chapter, this one invites your vision—without rushing the process.
