Overview

Description

Exceptional chance to acquire a residence on the most crystalline lake in the metro! A splendid .82-acre secluded parcel emanates a distinct "up north" ambiance on a tranquil dead-end street. Tom Ellison's masterful design, in collaboration with the esteemed TEA2 Architects, is simply awe-inspiring. The Nantucket-style shingle exterior seamlessly transforms into a contemporary interior, offering panoramic views through expansive glass walls. Illuminated by abundant natural light, this exquisitely flowing and unbarred floorplan showcases refined and distinctive spaces, cathedral vaults, hardwood flooring, three fireplaces, a main floor laundry, a pocket office, an in-law/guest suite or Nanny’s quarters, plus an electric car charging station. Lakeside living along 112 feet of shoreline, capturing delightful views from the three decks and secluded screened porch. Encounter wildlife spectacles, including graceful swans and melodious loons. Award winning Minnetonka School district!
