Four single-family homes and one condominium make up the five highest-priced home sales reported in Saint Paul, Minnesota for the week ending November 1, 2026. Together they sold for a combined $4.15 million.
All five are older homes, built between 1906 and 1946, and they are spread across Summit-University, Summit Hill, Warrendale and Arcadia. Coldwell Banker Realty had agents on the listing side of three of the five sales.
No. 1 — $1,300,000 · 341 Dayton Ave, Saint Paul, Minnesota
The top sale of the week is a brick-and-stone Tudor Revival in Summit-University, built in 1909, which sold for $1,300,000, just above its asking price of $1.299 million. According to the listing, it was designed by the architect Louis Lockwood, and Frank Parson Shepard commissioned it for the marriage of his son, David Chauncey Shepard II, to Sadie Nichols Smith.

The primary suite is also on that floor, with two fireplaces, a walk-in closet, a spa-style bathroom and views of the cathedral. The top floor has more bedrooms, a flex room, a full bath and a second eat-in kitchen, and the lower level has a theater room.
With six bedrooms, six bathrooms and 7,937 square feet on 0.38 acres, it is the largest home of the week by living area and sits on the largest lot. It has seven fireplaces, among them gas fireplaces in the living room and primary bedroom. Outside are a tiled front porch, a porte cochere, a custom-built garage and a carport.
