Property Description
A rare opportunity to own one of Saint Paul’s most extraordinary historic homes—beautifully preserved, extensively updated, and ready for its next chapter. Built in 1851 and set on an unusually large 0.41-acre lot in the heart of Irvine Park, the Wright-Prendergast House offers nearly 175 years of history without requiring its next owner to start from scratch. Behind its remarkably intact historic interiors is a home that has undergone extensive modernization and restoration. Recent improvements include a 2020 roof, updated mechanical systems, kitchen and bathrooms completely remodeled from the studs, foundation repointing, porch and exterior restoration, chimney work, drain tile, asbestos abatement, second-floor laundry, extensive landscaping, and more. Much of the expensive, behind-the-scenes work associated with owning a home of this age has already been completed. Inside, more than 3,100 square feet retain the craftsmanship that makes this property so exceptional: historic woodwork, original floors, fireplaces, soaring ceilings, and significant architectural elements salvaged from the former Norman Kittson Mansion. Rather than being stripped of its character in the name of modernization, this home has been carefully improved while preserving the details that have survived for nearly two centuries. Outside, mature trees, gardens, terraces and generous lawn create an almost estate-like setting rarely found this close to downtown Saint Paul. This is historic living without sacrificing modern function—a home that has been thoughtfully updated, carefully restored, and preserved for its next generation. Stained glass windows are excluded from sale.
