Perched along Mississippi River Boulevard in St. Paul, this stately new build is a timeless expression of French Country interior design inspired by the provincial manors of the French countryside. With its high-pitched rooflines, symmetrical arches, limestone façade, blue shutters, and copper accents, the architecture establishes a commanding presence along the river bluff while honoring classic European influence. Inside, the interiors were thoughtfully designed for effortless entertaining, featuring a flowing layout that connects the kitchen, formal dining room,
and butler’s pantry to accommodate everything from intimate family gatherings with nine grandchildren to large-scale philanthropic events. Layered blues, chinoiserie-inspired textiles, scroll details, and curated antiques reinforce the home’s refined yet welcoming aesthetic, while an expandable dining table and seamless indoor-outdoor access to the stone terrace enhance both beauty and function. The result is a St. Paul luxury residence that captures the romance of French Country style while supporting modern living and gracious hospitality.
