About 5620 Dupont Avenue S
Meticulously maintained and remarkably well preserved, this elegant 1938 home offers timeless character, thoughtful updates and an exceptional setting in Minneapolis’ sought-after Kenny neighborhood. Owned by only its second owners since 1992, the home reflects more than three decades of attentive stewardship. Original plaster walls and ceilings remain in beautiful condition, while coved ceilings, hardwood floors, built-in dining room hutches and a handsome wood-burning fireplace with stone surround showcase the craftsmanship of its era.
The main level flows naturally from room to room, with a beautifully updated kitchen featuring a Wolf dual-fuel range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and custom vent hood. Just beyond, the four-season sunroom provides a wonderful place to read, relax or enjoy views of the yard throughout the year. Outside, the .15-acre lot features a fenced backyard, manicured gardens, in-ground irrigation and a spacious Hage concrete patio for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Upstairs, three bedrooms continue the home’s classic character and beautifully maintained condition. The unfinished lower level adds another dimension, offering bright, clean and highly usable space with high ceilings, laundry, generous storage and a partial kitchenette. Enjoy it as it is or explore its future potential. Plans have previously been drawn for an additional bedroom, bathroom and living area.
Significant improvements include a 2024 Bryant furnace, 2021 Bryant central air, 2023 GAF Timberline roof, Andersen windows throughout, newer water heater, LeafGuard gutters and low-maintenance metal siding. A detached two-car garage offers additional overhead storage and a large alley parking pad for easier maneuvering.
Kenny offers a setting that makes it easy to enjoy some of the best of southwest Minneapolis. Minnehaha Creek is just four blocks away, while Lake Harriet is less than a mile from home—close enough for an evening walk to the lake and a sunset along the shoreline. Kenny Park and nearby Grass Lake offer even more opportunities to get outside, while Kowalski's Market, neighborhood shops, restaurants and everyday services are within walking distance. Convenient access to major roadways and transit keeps downtown and the rest of the Twin Cities within easy reach. An exceptionally cared-for home where enduring character, thoughtful improvements and a wonderful southwest Minneapolis location come together.
