Designed and built by Steiner & Koppleman, the custom brick-and-redwood home combines a refined aesthetic with an exceptional floor plan for everyday living and entertaining. Highlights include an updated gourmet eat-in kitchen with an adjacent hearth room, a sun-filled great room, formal living and dining rooms flanking a grand marble-floored foyer, a lakeside executive office, a mudroom with additional kitchen appliances, large screened porch, and expansive lakeside deck. The home features four fireplaces, thoughtfully placed in the hearth room, executive office, family room, and primary bedroom, creating warmth and ambiance throughout. An oversized, heated, three-plus-car garage and a whole-home generator complete the main-level amenities. The upper level includes three bedrooms, with a luxurious primary suite that has its own private screened porch and deck, and two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. The walkout lower level features a family room with a wet bar, sauna, workout area, an additional bedroom with a built-in desk and bed, and a flexible room that, upon buyer request, will be converted to a fifth bedroom at the seller’s expense. The heavily wooded lot has been thoughtfully maintained to promote long-term tree growth while preserving stunning lake views. Professionally designed landscaping and hardscaping frame the home and shoreline, with permanent concrete steps leading to a lakeside patio with a fireplace, rip-rap shoreline, and sandy beach depending on lake levels. A 40-foot boathouse and dock complete the ultimate Lake Minnetonka lifestyle.
