Property Description

Nestled among mature pine trees in a beautiful wooded Minnetonka neighborhood, this custom home offers a special blend of character, space, and thoughtful design. Originally built in 1938, the home was extensively expanded with a major addition (effective 1982), creating a one-of-a-kind residence that combines original charm with modern livability.  Rich woodwork and a mix of natural materials create a warm and inviting feel throughout, while large windows bring in an abundance of natural light and showcase the peaceful surroundings that add to the retreat-feel of the home. Walls of windows allow you to enjoy both sunrise and sunset from the comfort of your home.  The main level is designed for everyday ease, featuring a spacious primary suite with a gas fireplace and room for a sitting area, nursery, or pet space.
