Located at 1572 Portland Ave in Saint Paul, MN, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit showcases classic early 20th-century craftsman character throughout its single-floor layout. Original hardwood floors run continuously through the bedrooms and hallway, complemented by rich dark-stained wood trim, baseboards, and solid wood panel doors that reflect the home's historic architectural roots. The entryway features a standout built-in unit with glass-front upper cabinets and lower drawers, framed by a decorative craftsman-style wood railing — a distinctive architectural detail that anchors the space. The primary bedroom is generously sized, bathed in natural light from multiple windows, and includes a classic cast-iron radiator. The second bedroom is more intimate, featuring its own window and the same warm hardwood flooring and dark wood trim found throughout. The hallway provides a central connection between rooms, lined with the original dark wood doors and trim. The bathroom retains its vintage charm with a striking clawfoot soaking tub with overhead shower, a pedestal sink, tile flooring, white wainscoting, and a cast-iron radiator — all preserving the period authenticity of the space. Natural light flows into nearly every room through blinded windows, enhancing the warm, historic ambiance of this characterful Saint Paul residence.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
