Property Description
A truly special Minnehaha Creek setting. This beautifully maintained 1946 all-brick Cape Cod is perfectly positioned on a gentle knoll overlooking 113 feet of Minnehaha Creek frontage. Set on an exceptionally beautiful .56-acre lot with a sunny southern exposure, the home has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for more than 40 years—and the pride of ownership is evident throughout.
Here, Minnehaha Creek isn't simply something to look at—it's part of everyday life. Step out your back door and enjoy direct access to the creek for kayaking, canoeing, fishing and swimming, or simply relax and watch the ever-changing parade of birds and wildlife that make the creek corridor their home. From morning coffee to summer evenings on the porch or deck, the connection to nature is remarkable.
Classic craftsmanship and timeless character define the home, beginning with a gracious living room featuring hardwood floors, a gas fireplace and wonderful natural light. The dining room enjoys views toward the creek, while the well-kept kitchen connects easily to the main-floor screened porch. An expansive deck above the attached garage provides another wonderful outdoor living space. A main-floor bedroom offers flexibility as a bedroom, den or home office.
Upstairs are two charming bedrooms, a spacious full bath and a delightful additional nook perfect for a dressing or makeup area.
The sunny walkout lower level adds exceptional living space, with a large recreation room featuring a second gas fireplace, a fourth bedroom with egress window, three-quarter bath, generous laundry and storage areas, and direct access to the attached garage.
For all its natural beauty, the location is remarkably convenient. Highway 169 is just minutes away for easy access throughout the metro, while the shops, restaurants, services and everyday conveniences around Minnetonka Boulevard and the Tonka Dale area are close at hand.
Beautifully groomed grounds, mature landscaping, abundant wildlife and the winding creek create a setting that feels like a private retreat in the heart of St. Louis Park. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated throughout, this is a home where quality construction, classic Cape Cod charm and an extraordinary Minnehaha Creek lifestyle come together—a property treasured for more than four decades and ready for its next chapter. This is an opportunity rarely available.
