Tucked away on a quiet, wooded, double lot, this stunning one-story walkout home offers the perfect blend of peaceful seclusion and walkable convenience. Set on .69 private acres with captivating wetland views, abundant wildlife, and a tranquil backdrop, this home feels like a woodland retreat—yet it's just steps from Lakewinds, Lake Minnetonka, Lifetime Fitness, and charming restaurants and coffee shops.
Step inside to a stunning great room with soaring vaulted wood ceilings, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling full fieldstone wood-burning fireplace, and expansive windows that showcase the tranquil landscape. The spacious kitchen is equally impressive, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, newly refinished hardwood floors, and a large center island ideal for casual dining or entertaining.
The main level offers a versatile floor plan with two bedrooms plus a spacious den—perfect for a home office, library, or cozy lounge. Skylights and vaulted ceilings add to the light-filled, airy ambiance, while the screened porch and two generous decks offer year-round opportunities to enjoy your outdoor oasis. The huge main level owners’ bedroom is a private sanctuary that walks through to a spa-like bath with soaking tub, vanity with dual sinks and separate room for toilet and shower. The walkout lower level includes two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a family room with a cozy woodstove perfect for movie nights, gaming, or relaxing with friends—plus a patio just outside for easy indoor-outdoor living.
The home has an oversized 2 car attached garage plus a great workshop for your tools and projects. An additional detached 2 ½ car garage provides ample space for vehicles and hobbies, and a charming garden shed offers potential as a future she-shed, man-cave, or even a deckside bar.
Located just minutes from downtown Excelsior, Wayzata, and the West End in the award-winning Minnetonka School District and within the coveted Groveland Elementary boundary, this property offers a sense of peace and privacy rarely found in the city and a unique opportunity to own a modern retreat in one of the area’s most desirable locations.
