One of Cathedral Hill's Finest Victorian Residences! The staircase tells you everything. Before you've explored the library, admired the stained glass, or wandered through more than 7,000 square feet, your hand finds the century-old oak rail, sunlight spills through original art glass, and you understand why homes like this become part of a city's identity. Designed by renowned St. Paul architect D.W. Millard for W.H. Howard in 1883, 422 Laurel Avenue is one of Cathedral Hill's defining Victorian residences. More than a beautifully preserved home, it is a rare example of craftsmanship that simply cannot be reproduced. Hand-carved millwork, soaring ceilings, intricate parquet floors, original built-ins, decorative fireplaces, towering windows, and richly detailed woodwork create rooms with warmth, scale, and unmistakable character. Modern updates have been thoughtfully woven into the home, including a beautifully renovated kitchen and baths that respect its architectural integrity while making everyday living effortless. A private third-level apartment adds remarkable flexibility as guest quarters, a home office, an artist's studio, or independent living space. Then there is something almost unheard of in Cathedral Hill: the land. The expansive lot offers significant future potential, with the ability to develop approximately 9,000 finished square feet on a separate parcel or as much as 14,000 finished square feet if the property remains intact. Finding one of St. Paul's landmark Victorian homes with this level of flexibility is exceptionally uncommon. Just beyond the front porch are Cathedral Hill's celebrated restaurants, cafés, parks, and historic streets, placing one of the Twin Cities' most admired neighborhoods at your doorstep. Homes like this rarely change hands. Fewer still offer the chance to shape what comes next.

Nestled in the heart of Saint Paul's beloved Irvine Park Historic District, the Wright–Prendergast House offers a rare opportunity to own one of the city's earliest surviving residences. Originally built in 1851 by carpenter Isaac P. Wright, the home began as a modest territorial-era dwelling before being dramatically transformed in 1906 for James Prendergast. The renovation introduced an elegant Neoclassical façade with a commanding two-story Ionic portico while preserving the home's remarkable historic character. Today, the property stands as a contributing resource within the National Register-listed Irvine Park Historic District and represents more than 175 years of Saint Paul history. Inside, generations of thoughtful stewardship have left an extraordinary legacy of craftsmanship. During the 1906 renovation, architectural treasures salvaged from the demolished Norman Kittson Mansion—including marble fireplaces, stained-glass windows, and Waterford crystal chandeliers—were incorporated into the home, creating interiors of exceptional distinction. The residence remained in the Prendergast family for more than a century, preserving an authenticity seldom found in historic properties. Set amid one of Saint Paul's most picturesque neighborhoods, the Wright–Prendergast House offers not only architectural significance but also the chance to become the next steward of a landmark that reflects the city's evolution from territorial settlement to thriving capital. Improvements undertaken by current owners include: kitchen gut-to-studs renovation, boiler pipes replaced, asbestos abatement, landscaping, terracing, drain tile, primary suite bathroom & laundry addition, gas line run to primary suite fireplace, chimney rebuilt & lined, & exterior siding, fascia, porch & columns restoration & paint.
