Nestled in the charming Merriam Park neighborhood, this 1924 brick colonial has long been a labor of love for its owners, who spent nearly 30 years updating it room by room. When they approached us, the home’s original craftsmanship remained intact, but past additions had disrupted flow and functionality.

The main-level remodel addresses the needs of a family that loves to cook, entertain, and live comfortably. The kitchen was reimagined with soapstone and quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry with interior lighting, and a ventilated root-vegetable cabinet, perfect for homeowners who prepare meals from scratch. Open shelving brings their love of plants into the design, complemented by strategically integrated grow lights.

Practicality meets elegance throughout the main floor. A new mudroom streamlines storage for shoes, mail, and chargers, while a thoughtfully designed bar elevates entertaining. The updated powder room balances modern convenience with classic detailing, ensuring each space is both functional and inviting. This Merriam Park remodel is a testament to what happens when a historic St. Paul home is treated with care.
