Description
The Lake Minnetonka Home Team has recently listed another Lake Minnetonka area home at 3105 Cardinal Cove Drive! 3105 Cardinal Cove Drive is a one owner, custom built home, that has plenty of upgrades and updates that you would be hard pressed to replicate in today’s new construction for this value. Upon arriving at at 3105 Cardinal Cove Drive you will immediately appreciate the location of this home. Just a block away you will find Halstead’s Bay of Lake Minnetonka and Cardinal Cove Drive is a dead end street, so traffic stays minimal. Just around the bend you will find Halstead Drive where you can launch your boat or wave runners onto Lake Minnetonka.
At the home, enjoy mature landscaping with perennials, shrubs, and trees that have taken years to get to reach their height. The owners have taken care with their yard even during this summer heat wave. Three stall garage is a must have for being near the lake and yard supplies. There is also a brand new shed which has great storage for overflow or toys. Large drive has ample room for parking when you host and entertain! You will appreciate the stone façade on the front of the home and at one point scales to the highest peak of the roof. The roof was just re-done last year and a fresh power wash leaves the siding looking brand new.
Take the concrete steps up to the front porch where you can enjoy greeting guests. Step inside to the two story entryway with transom and side windows to see this bright and open layout! To the right you will find a formal dining room for the holidays with built in cabinetry and shelving. To the left you will find the home office through glass paneled French doors. A home office is a must in today’s world! Straight ahead you will find the living room with new carpeting and a large window looking to the backyard that lets in great natural lighting. There is also a gas burning fireplace here for those colder months of the year. You will find that there are stereo speakers throughout the main level for entertaining!
The living room has an open layout to the informal dining room and kitchen. When the owners built this home, they certainly had entertaining and gatherings in mind. The informal dining area can be a great spot to set up appetizers and a buffet. Sliding glass door leads to the large deck area where you have room for several outdoor furniture sets. There are two granite bar tops that make for an ideal refreshment mixing area.
Step right into the kitchen where you will find everything you need! you will find granite countertops, stainless appliances, enameled cabinetry, recessed lighting, tiled backsplash, stereo speakers, walk in pantry, and windows looking to the backyard. The granite center island makes for a focal point and will be used endlessly during parties or makes for a great morning stop to eat breakfast. The main floor laundry and mud room is just beyond the kitchen, a staple for any family on the go with kids in sports.
Head upstairs where you will find four bedrooms on one level. The landing area can be a great spot to add some of your own décor and personalization. The large master bedroom looks to the backyard and features a master bathroom with heated tiled flooring, dual sink granite vanity, tiled shower, and jetted tub for relaxation after a long day. Do not forget the huge walk in master closet! The other three bedrooms are all well sized, something you may not find in today’s new construction. The bedroom off the master would make for a great nursery. The upstairs full bath has been done in tiled flooring, granite vanity, and tiled shower.
The lower level may be the spot to hangout with plenty of entertainment features! You will find a media area set up with everything you need for watching your favorite shows or movies as if you were in the theater. There is also a gas burning fireplace here done in granite tile surround to keep you warm on the colder nights of the year. The spacious family room is currently set up to play pool. There is seating for everyone around the wet bar! The wet bar is done with a granite top and has thoughtful storage below and above so your mixologist will be ready to make any drink necessary. Show off your “top shelf” goods in the glass case or on the custom built shelving.
The lower level bedroom is private and makes for a perfect landing spot while guests are in town. There is also a three quarter bath in the lower level done in tile with a large vanity for your guests to prep themselves. A 6th non-confirming bedroom has been made into the workout room with stereo speakers, TV, and low maintenance flooring. It can also serve as a safe-haven during a bad storm. The mechanicals are all high efficiency and have been updated within the last several years, big ticket items!
The focal point of this home may just be in the backyard at the tiki bar! Head out back and discover the large paver patio with your very own tiki bar that is wired for music and lighting to keep the party going all night long. Set up a free standing fireplace on one end of the patio and enjoy good company. The almost half acre yard has lush grass and plenty of room for the kids to run around and play as the adults enjoy their time on the patio. You will make plenty of unforgettable memories here with good friends and family!
3105 Cardinal Cove Drive offers an excellent one owner, custom built home, with plenty of upgrades inside and out that would cost a fortune to do with today’s building costs. Lake Minnetonka is just around the corner and the next road over on Halstead Drive has a boat launch, literally just a minute drive from your home. Your guests will be enthralled as they go from the kitchen down to the wet bar and out to the deck and tiki bar patio. 3105 Cardinal Cove Drive is ready to be enjoyed by the next family for years to come just as the current family has done for the past 16 years.
