About 5421 Pillsbury Avenue S
Sweat equity opportunity in a fantastic location! This expansive Tudor-style home offers solid mechanicals and abundant potential for an industrious owner-occupant or investor. With updates to the kitchen, bathroom, and lower level—as well as fresh paint and finishing touches—the after-repair value is estimated around $450K+++.
Enjoy timeless charm throughout: original hardwood floors, natural woodwork, corner cupboards, original doors with glass handles, plaster arches between the living and dining rooms, and a stone-surround fireplace. The main floor features a traditional mini-Tudor layout with a large living room, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen (easily opened to create a modern, open-concept layout), two bedrooms, and a full bath.
Upstairs surprises with a high vaulted ceiling, new carpet, updated electric baseboard heat, and a bathroom area with tub on an elevated platform. There’s also a bonus alcove perfect for a quiet space, nursery, or office.
Recent updates include newer windows (some with broken seals), a 14-year-old roof, 11-year-old boiler, 2025 hot water heater, central A/C on the main level, and a mini-split A/C upstairs.
Prime location just one block to Minnehaha Creek and bike trails, five minutes to Lake Harriet, four blocks to I-35W, and a short stroll to the 54th & Lyndale area for dining, coffee, and shopping. Showings begin Friday, October 24th.
