About 5229 42nd Ave S

Just a hop, skip, and a short bike ride from the iconic Minnehaha Falls, this darling 2 bed, 1 bath bungalow is bursting with charm! Sip your morning coffee from this sunny 3-season front porch. Inside, you’ll find gleaming hardwood floors, a bright living/dining room and kitchen sporting newer stainless steel appliances (2022!). Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main floor. The lower level has loads of open living space! The privacy-fenced backyard is a garden-lover’s dream, filled with blooming perennials, a cement patio and a cozy vibe made for hammock naps or evening s’mores. Major updates include new roof, gutters and chimney (2020), new garage door and opener and furnace (2024). Ducts cleaned in 2022, sewer line cleaned in 2024. And because storage dreams are real: the unfinished attic is practically begging to become your secret studio, yoga loft, or reading hideaway—let your imagination do its thing! One car garage plus a covered carport for extra off-street parking because, yes, this house really does check all the boxes. Come see why this sweet South Minneapolis spot will steal your heart!
