About this home
Introducing 5940 Galpin Lake Road in the heart of Shorewood, Minnesota. Set on 2.55 private and wooded acres, this character-filled 1915 home offers a rare combination of privacy, history, and convenience, just minutes from Downtown Excelsior and the amenities of Lake Minnetonka. While standing as one of the original homes, once part of an apple orchard, the property carries a quiet sense of nostalgia while offering four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and deeded access to Galpin Lake. It also offers extraordinary flexibility for the future.
A storybook front porch welcomes you inside, where hardwood floors, rich woodwork, enameled wood slat ceiling, and warm architectural details create a timeless sense of character. The home was built for entertaining, with a spacious living room that flows into the formal dining room, featuring a built-in buffet and display cabinetry that adds both charm and functionality. The adjacent kitchen is bright and welcoming, for those quintessential moments of Midwest congregating. Two distinct living spaces provide warmth and flexibility, contributing to the home’s enduring character. Windows throughout, frame views of the surrounding woods, and reinforce the property’s peaceful, secluded setting. A versatile main-level office with an adjacent three-quarter bathroom offers the flexibility to serve as a guest suite or main-floor bedroom.
Upstairs, you’ll find the primary bedroom, three additional spacious bedrooms, and a recently renovated full bathroom.
The lower level offers a generous flex space to create a family room, workout room, or future expansion, and boasts abundant storage.
Outside, enjoy the privacy and natural beauty of 2.55 acres surrounded by mature trees, along with a detached three-car garage, which will have some new roofing and siding work, with installation anticipated in the coming weeks.
Ideally located steps from Downtown Excelsior, you’ll enjoy easy access to charming boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and the many recreational amenities of Lake Minnetonka. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate nearby access to the Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail, offering miles of scenic walking and biking paths. Located in the award-winning Minnetonka School District.
Whether you choose to enjoy the home’s historic character, thoughtfully expand upon it, or explore the long-term possibilities offered by this exceptional acreage, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Shorewood’s most distinctive properties....
