5340 1st Avenue S

Five bedrooms, four baths, and 3,686 finished square feet in one of Tangletown’s most desirable locations. Just a half block from Minnehaha Creek and right behind Tangletown Gardens, this special property offers an unusual combination of spacious interiors, beautiful grounds, and a wonderfully private setting. The heart of the home is the main level, where the kitchen, dining, and family spaces come together in an easy, comfortable layout. The renovated kitchen features Sub-Zero and Miele appliances and opens to the dining and family areas, while a two-sided gas fireplace adds a beautiful focal point between the living and family rooms. The primary suite includes a private fireplace, two walk-in closets, and a generously appointed bath with heated floors, Jacuzzi tub, and separate shower. Four bedrooms are grouped on the second floor, with a fifth bedroom downstairs that can easily serve as a guest room, office, or flexible living space. The two-car tuck-under garage leads into a substantial mudroom with excellent built-in storage. Outside is where this home really distinguishes itself. Elevated above 1st Avenue, the property has a sense of privacy that is unusual for a Minneapolis neighborhood. The front patio is surrounded by an incredible collection of mature plantings and perennial gardens, creating a beautiful arrival and outdoor living space. The rear yard offers another gathering area with a large patio, deck, garden shed, and an abundance of carefully maintained landscaping. In many ways, the grounds feel like a natural extension of Tangletown Gardens just steps away. An outstanding location with Minnehaha Creek, Lake Harriet, parks, trails, restaurants, and neighborhood amenities all nearby, with instant freeway access to downtown Minneapolis, the airport, and major highways.
