This St. Paul Victorian keeps its historic character front and center while pairing it with a distinctly modern hand. Original details remain, a tiles fireplace surround, ornate cast-iron radiators, and rich wood millwork, but bold black trim throughout give the home a contemporary edge that period restorations rarely attempt. In the primary bath, an antique carved wood vanity sits beneath black-framed windows and a black ceiling, letting the old and new push against each other rather than blend quietly together. The kitchen keeps warm wood cabinetry and soapstone counters grounded in the home's traditional bones, while a screened porch addition on the exterior signals the home's evolution without disrupting its original form.
