Standing in the heart of Saint Paul’s historic Irvine Park, the Wright-Prendergast House offers a rare chance to own a residence with nearly 175 years of architectural history.
Built in 1851, the two-story home combines remarkable preservation with extensive modernization, allowing its next owner to enjoy historic character without beginning a restoration from the ground up.
223 Walnut St, Saint Paul, Minnesota — $775,000
4 bedrooms | 3 baths | 3,166 sq. ft. | Built 1851 | 0.41 acres | Wright-Prendergast House
Inside, original floors, historic woodwork, soaring ceilings, four fireplaces, and significant architectural elements salvaged from the former Norman Kittson Mansion create an extraordinary sense of place.
The gracious floor plan includes a dramatic foyer, formal living and dining rooms, family room, den, four bedrooms, and three baths, with the primary suite and laundry located upstairs.
Recent work includes a 2020 roof, updated mechanical systems, fully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, foundation repointing, porch and exterior restoration, chimney work, drain tile, asbestos abatement, and extensive landscaping.
Outside, mature trees, gardens, terraces, generous lawn, and multiple porches create an estate-like setting on an unusually spacious 0.41-acre city lot.
The property was reduced by $25,000 in September 2026, bringing the asking price to $775,000. For a buyer who values authentic early Saint Paul architecture but also wants the benefits of thoughtful restoration and modern infrastructure, 223 Walnut Street offers the opportunity to become the next steward of an exceptionally rare piece of Minnesota history.
