The five highest-priced home sales reported in Saint Paul, Minnesota for the week ending October 25, 2026 added up to $4.512 million. All five were in the city of Saint Paul, and the list ran across more than a century of building: the oldest home dates to 1886 and the newest, the only condominium in the group, to 2006.
Edina Realty, Inc. had the listing on two of the five, and on one sale the same agent was on both sides.
No. 1 — $1,250,000 · 2096 Lower Saint Dennis Rd, Saint Paul, Minnesota
The top sale of the week was a one-story walkout rambler at 2096 Lower Saint Dennis Road in Lanes Edgcumbe Hills, which sold for $1,250,000. Built in 1951, the home was entirely remodeled and redesigned in 2018, and it sits on 0.39 acres of landscaped grounds with mature trees.
The main floor is laid out as one connected run of kitchen, dining room and living space, with a gas fireplace, and it opens to the backyard. The primary suite is on this level, with a spa-style bathroom of its own, and a second bedroom is down the hall. The walkout lower level is finished to the same standard as the floor above. It has two more bedrooms, a wet bar, a large recreation room and another gas fireplace, and it opens straight onto the yard. In all, the home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, 3,840 square feet of living space, three fireplaces and an attached two-car garage.
Outside, the backyard has been landscaped and hardscaped as an outdoor living area, with a patio, a privacy fence and a storage shed. The property last sold for $175,000 in 2019.

Set behind a stone exterior on Holly Avenue in Summit-University, the Victorian at 458 Holly Avenue was built in 1888 and sold for $850,000. Its interior keeps much of the period’s detail: broad archways, tall windows that bring in plenty of light, natural woodwork and three fireplaces.
The kitchen has been redone and opens to a family room, giving the older home a connected everyday living space. The main level also has an office, a mudroom, laundry and a bathroom. All four bedrooms are on the second floor, where the primary suite has its own gas fireplace, distinctive windows, fine woodwork and generous closets. The home has three bathrooms and 2,889 square feet, with a full basement, a front porch, a patio and a detached two-car garage on a 5,749-square-foot lot.

The oldest and largest home on the list, 8 Bates Avenue in Suburban Hills, sold for $722,000. The Queen Anne was built in 1886 and stands on a 0.44-acre corner lot above the Mississippi River Valley, with several decks that look out over the valley and the downtown skyline.
Inside, the home has 4,757 square feet, five bedrooms and five bathrooms, more of each than any other home in the group. Much of its original craftsmanship remains, including oak woodwork, raised-panel oak doors, columns, stained glass and hardwood floors. The main level has a family room, a formal dining room, a sunroom and a breakfast nook, along with a flex room with a sink that could serve as an office or studio. The kitchen has been updated with custom cabinets, granite counters and a center island.
A second, fully equipped kitchen sits on the bedroom floor, alongside four of the bedrooms. The primary suite occupies its own floor, with a sitting room, a walk-in closet, an ensuite bath and attic storage. Below is a full unfinished basement.
