5104 W 40th Street Set in the heart of St. Louis Park's beloved Minikahda Vista neighborhood, this beautifully updated home offers the perfect balance of original charm and the warmth of an established community with character. Just a short walk from Miracle Mile, Trader Joe's, and Excelsior Boulevard's favorite restaurants and coffee shops, with easy access to the lakes. This is a block built around its people, known for Taco Tuesdays across the street, neighborhood happy hours, and block parties out on the front yards. Inside, original character meets thoughtful updates throughout. Hardwood floors run across the main level, and archways guide you from room to room. The kitchen has been beautifully refreshed with new quartz countertops and flooring. Two bedrooms sit just off the main level, separated by a full bathroom, each with its own quiet corner of the home. One of the home's most charming features is the back porch, an easy extension of the main living space perfect for morning coffee or an evening appetizer. A sun drenched room that is sure to be everyone's favorite. It opens right into the backyard, perfect for entertaining, whether that's a quiet night in or a table full of friends. With no direct neighbors to the front or back, it offers a rare amount of privacy, finished off with a new fence on the west side of the backyard and new 6 ft trees along the back fence. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, with its own sitting area and an attached bathroom set apart from the rest of the home. Downstairs, the finished basement adds additional flex space with a large family room, a playroom, home office, or workout area. Additional updates include a new furnace and AC (2024), water softener (2025), fresh paint and carpet (2026). Minikahda Vista is the kind of neighborhood people move to and stay in for good reason: walkable, connected, and genuinely welcoming from the day you arrive. Schedule your private showing today!
