In 1837, 24 year old John Irvine traveled west from Pennsylvania to the headwaters of the Mississippi River. Captivated by the beauty and potential of the land and location, he began shaping what would become St. Paul's Irvine Park neighborhood. In 1849, Irvine donated a parcel of land to the community as parkland and developed homes around it, calling the area "St. Paul's earliest, most fashionable residential district." More than a century later, that vision still shines. Standing at the southeast corner of the park is 56 Irvine Park - a striking Italianate mansion thoughtfully converted into three distinctive condos. Unit #2 spans the entire first floor, where soaring ceilings and oversized windows frame views of the St. Paul skyline and the charm of Irvine Park. Historic elegance is reflected in beautifully preserved woodwork and impressive craftsmanship, while the spacious floor plan includes a gourmet kitchen with professional-grade appliances and a custom-designed bathroom with walk-in shower and separate soaking tub. Modern comforts blend seamlessly with timeless character - in unit laundry, central air, garage stall parking, along with the simple pleasure of a private front porch overlooking one of St. Paul's historically significant parks. This is a rare opportunity to call Irvine Park home.
