    This is a home that's been heavily invested in and optimized to capture Minnetonka's natural beauty from every common space within the home and multiple gathering spaces on the lakeside. Walls of glass are expensive. Nearly all the previous windows have been torn out and totally replaced with the highest quality windows available ---no vinyl; everything first rate and of the highest quality. The site itself is incomparably private for this price. The northward view across the lake is serene To underscore the point, a babbling brook might be all you hear coursing its way along the east-side boundary. While this is a 2-story home, it serves one-level living and entertaining. The deck is 20 X 19 ft., recently renovated using Ipe Wood, blind fastened--considered to be the most durable, easiest to care for, and beautiful decking solution. Access to the home traverses heavy woodlands; the lot is deep. The lakefront is weedy but manageable. Boat traffic is less than most any other bay, making it a favorite of water skiers. Though the first step inside is captivating with a 25 x 17 Great Room, but immediately, its the panoramic glimpses of the lake that draw the eye. But a few more steps yield views of a so-called 'kitchen' which no single word can describe---it's an entertainment eco-system where even modest cooks can fool Michelin guide centered foodies and where everything is appetizing. Lakeside living is casual; ranges are like a campfire. Its where guests gather near. Fortunately, the flanking 90 bottle double zone wine-cooler pairs up with the cuisine art. Some factoids: top-end Sub Zero fridge;/freezer chest; a 6-burner Wolf range with both a griddle and a grill; 40 lineal ft of counter space---and 20' of floor-to-ceiling window views. Chef Envy Summary: the kitchen domain is an unparalleled entertainment space integrated with super-premium appliances, both practical and aesthetic lighting options, multiple prep spaces, and the panoramic perspective of exterior and interior alike. Who needs a big-screen TV? The custom-made table goes with the home and has extra leaves that can serve 16 if you must tear guests away from the nearby casual dining bar height counter. A unique design feature is the see-through walls of glass serving up constant and dramatic vistas to the interior rooms. One of the sellers’ favorite spaces is the 2-story, full-windowed sunroom. Generally, at this price-point, lots are narrower; decks, if built at all, are lakeside, which screens shoreline viewing. With scads of flexibility, this home embraces lake-style living in so many ways, one of which is a deck with multi-use scale The Master suite is right-sized. Meaning: it has all the needed space and thoughtful accoutrements one would want… …. AND including access to the deck’s privacy and quietude. The ensuite bath is divided into 3 spaces: a water closet, a tall double vanity with a glassed-in shower, and a Dressing room closet area. The dressing area is sumptuous, with yet another cool touch to be discovered amongst many in this house, a hat rack befitting the ranch. When outside the Lower Level, there's no let-up in the view, nor is the invitation to step onto yet another outdoor space less alluring than the scenery from the upper level… … except that from here one can step into the hot tub that goes with the property. The nearly full-span lower deck has been freshly rebuilt. This is what one sees upon first steps into the lower level. The game space is generous; the entertainment space even larger---but then, always the captivating perspective. even from the lower level, unlike so many homes, with this house there is no let-up in quality, appeal, nor riveting connectivity with the lakeside… ….but for the possible temporary distraction of an entertainment oasis that can serve all comers with food, libations, and conviviality---matched by no other property (the justifiably oft-repeated refrain) at this price-point. The flooring is cyprus, the windows nearly everywhere have been replaced, and the private feeling is pervasive. The corner-to-corner window panorama is the most unique aspect of this home---unlike any other. Behind the wall against which these chairs sit is a large space that could support an additional large bedroom. The fourth bedroom resides in the lower level and is currently used as an office. in this case, a Murphy bed folds against the wall. Don't be deceived. Lakeshore puts the money towards the lake---especially at this price. But toys need to be stored. The insulated garage is a deep triple plus. Even before reaching the front doorway, the line of site orientation to the lake offers clues. One transformative step through the entry---jolts the senses.

Currently used as storage space, this area offers flexibility for another bedroom, an exercise space, or hobby area. The partitioning wall could easily be modified to enable this interior space, to have a lake vista.

    Property Description
    Lake Minnetonka Entertainment Oasis; 4 BR, 4bath, on Halstad’s Bay with $1M+ of updates and upgrades by this owner since their purchase including $100k of Anderson doors and windows that provide commanding lakeside views from nearly every room in the house. Any of these rooms could be next owners’ favorite, but the envy inducing kitchen is matchless, fronted by an entertainment bar all dominated by the 12’ backdrop of floor to ceiling bow-windows. The uber appliance suite includes nearly all that Wolf and Sub-Zero have to offer. The adjacent rooms don’t play second fiddle with choices from the 2-story Sunroom, the Great room centering on the split rock fireplace or the Main Floor ensuite that opens to the magnificent deck. The approach to this private site initially winds through a family friendly n’hood before turning onto an alluring drive flanked heavy woods that protect the site.
