Settle into this funky pretty Downtown Saint Paul 1890 Victorian in an apartment of your own. Steps from Irvine Park, West Seventh, Saint Paul's best breakfasts, vintage shops, breweries, supper clubs, concerts, and museums. Bedecked in a referential mishmash of 1960s Hollywood Regency, 1970s Victoriana, and 1980s postmodern furnishings over a colorful modern-day backdrop – whether you're a tourist in town or seeking a weekend refresh, there's something for everyone in this cozy city spot.
On a typical weeknight, you might find us solving a puzzle, cooking dinner, and jamming out to whatever Spotify decides we should be listening to.
Welcome to Downtown Saint Paul! Our 1890 Victorian is tucked on a quiet street steps from St. Paul's premier historic district, Irvine Park, home to St. Paul's earliest homes and Mississippi River views. Walk to St. Paul's most popular breakfast, breweries, and vintage shops just 2 blocks away on West Seventh. If driving's more your thing, you'll be: 3 minutes from major concerts (think Lizzo, Bruce Springsteen, Harry Styles, blink-182) and Minnesota Wild hockey games at the Xcel Energy Center and West Seventh's iconic Italian restaurants and Irish pubs 4 minutes from the heart of downtown Saint Paul, Rice Park – home to the Saint Paul Central Library, the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, and the Saint Paul Winter Carnival – and museums including the Minnesota Children's Museum, the Minnesota History Center, and the Science Museum of Minnesota 5 minutes from the decorated mansions of Summit Avenue, boutique shopping, bakeries, and bookstores on Grand Avenue, and the skyline-defining Cathedral of Saint Paul and Minnesota State Capitol Walkable neighborhood, walkable city!
