Set on a rare .4-acre double lot in St. Louis Park, 1856 Louisiana offers the kind of space, updates, and location that is getting harder to find. You are a short walk to Lamplighter Pond, Pennsylvania Park, Westwood Hills Nature Center, and the middle school—plus under 10 minutes to downtown Minneapolis and just minutes to West End for restaurants, shopping, and nightlife.
Inside, the home strikes a solid balance of character and function. The kitchen has been updated, the living room is warm and comfortable with custom entry built-ins, and there is a dedicated dining space that actually gets used. Three bedrooms on one level is a big win, and they are all generously sized. The primary also features a newly added, oversized closet.
The lower level is wide open with a huge family room and a substantial wet bar—perfect for hosting or just having space to spread out. Upstairs, there is an unfinished upper level that gives you a clear path to add another bedroom and bathroom down the road.
A lot of the big-ticket items are already done: siding, roof, gutters, garage door, boiler, central air, sump pump, drain tile, and more—so you are not walking into a project.
Outside is where this one really separates itself. The yard is massive, with a huge front porch out front and a new patio with privacy fencing out back—both set up well for entertaining or relaxing.
If you are looking for a move-in-ready home with real space, strong updates, and a location that makes daily life easier, this is it.
