Windows and siding were also replaced around that time.
Your first instinct will and should be to walk into the living room and look out to Lake Minnetonka. The wall of windows and sliding glass door allow plenty of natural light to come in as well! The sliding glass door is triple paned for extra comfort during the colder months of the year. Enjoy having the heated tile flooring under your feet and the gas fireplace on during the holiday months. You will love hosting in this room!

One of the best aspects of this home is the lakeside yard where you will find beautiful landscaping complementing a flagstone walkway and multi-tier patio. Spend long summer afternoons into evenings enjoying good company around the fire and extended Lake Minnetonka views down West Arm. If you want to hop into the boat for some dining, Lord Fletcher’s is only a few minutes away! The gradual walk down to the lake is the best of both worlds. We have a slightly raised position at the house for excellent views but a simple walk to the lake.
You will find good lake depth of about 5 feet at the end of the dock, perfect for swimming, wave runners, or pulling the boat in or out. You do not need to take your dock or boat lift in and out during the winter months due to our lake location. A definite money saver! This is also a no wake zone, so you will not have to worry about high speed boat traffic right in front of your home. Don’t forget to take your afternoon snooze in the hammock by the lake!
The kitchen has been remodeled and has an excellent lake feel. Silestone countertops, custom designed hickory cabinetry, stainless appliances, backsplash, center island, bar area, wine rack, and plenty of lighting. Enjoy entertaining this summer with the patio door open as guests go between the kitchen and the lake with ease! There is an informal dining area off the kitchen that can easily seat a large, family sized table. On the main floor you will also find a bedroom currently being used as a home office as well as a half bath, powder room.
Head upstairs to the master suite with breathtaking Lake Minnetonka views! Spacious master suite room has a his and hers extra deep closet, master bathroom, sitting area, as well as a large patio overlooking the lake. While sitting on the patio, enjoy your coffee on a warm summer’s morning as the sun comes up directly in the east. In the afternoon, enjoy a good book while under the shade of the trees. A unique and relaxing spot to hang out! Your view is unabated to the lake because the owners thoughtfully used glass paneling for a railing.
Back inside to the master bathroom where at the end of a long day you can sit and relax in the jetted tub! There is also a separate ceramic tiled shower as well as dual sink vanity. Upstairs you will also find a guest bedroom that includes its own en-suite 3/4 bathroom so your guests can feel right at home. One aspect you will notice throughout the home is that all doors are hearty solid oak 6 panel or glass paneled doors. High quality!
