9353 Shetland Rd, Eden Prairie, MN 55347

In a market where many Eden Prairie homes compete on size, updates, and location, 9353 Shetland Road separates itself through something harder to duplicate: the way it lives. Custom-built by the current owner and maintained in exceptional condition, this Riley Creek Ridge two-story combines quality construction, a view-oriented main level, meaningful indoor-outdoor spaces, and everyday function that becomes more apparent with every room. Set on a picturesque street, the home is oriented toward a deep wooded backdrop that gives the main level a rare sense of calm and separation. The first impression begins with a generous foyer, a front conversation room with architectural detail, warm millwork, and beautifully maintained site-finished hardwood floors. A few steps farther in, the home opens dramatically: the extra-wide staircase, large wood windows, expansive kitchen, living room, four-season room, maintenance-free deck, and treetop views all come into sight at once. The oversized kitchen anchors the main level with generous storage, cooktop and wall oven, extensive prep space, island seating, and excellent sightlines into the living room, four-season room, deck, and wooded views beyond. The fully heated and cooled four-season addition feels seamless to the original design, creating a year-round retreat that may become the most memorable room in the home. Built with uncommon attention to comfort and quality, the home includes intentional insulation throughout interior walls, floors, and ceilings for a quieter living experience. Solid doors, crown molding, custom millwork, built-ins, 9-foot ceilings on the main and lower levels, extra-wide stairways, zoned HVAC, central vacuum, speaker system, irrigation, abundant storage, and carefully placed rear windows all reflect a home designed for long-term livability. The upper level offers four bedrooms, including a private primary suite with excellent separation from the other bedrooms, beautiful morning light, walk-in closet, heated bath floors, steam shower, jetted tub, and walk-in shower. Upper-level laundry adds everyday convenience. The walkout lower level expands the home’s flexibility with a large entertainment area, amusement room, wet bar, fireplace, fifth bedroom, and direct access to the patio beneath the deck. It creates a natural second gathering zone with room for movies, games, fitness, pool, ping pong, or relaxed everyday use. Outside, the maintenance-free deck overlooks the wooded backdrop, while the retaining wall design creates a more usable rear yard with space for recreation and outdoor entertaining. The sport court area adds another layer of flexibility and could support basketball, training space, or a large hitting net for golf, baseball, lacrosse, or hockey. Even the garage stands apart. With high ceilings, 8-foot doors, heat, insulation, epoxy floors, water, central vacuum, and a floor drain, it functions as a year-round utility space for vehicles, storage, projects, and winter car washing. Major improvements include furnace and A/C, roof, maintenance-free deck, four-season addition, lower-level amusement room addition, recent paver driveway, retaining wall, and backyard recreation improvements. Exceptionally clean, carefully maintained, and thoughtfully designed, this is a home where the quality and pride of ownership are obvious in person.
