Rarely does new construction deliver such a compelling combination of refined luxury, effortless one-level living, and an exceptional Excelsior location. Inspired and designed by renowned local design firm Rauscher & Associates, this custom-built, fully finished rambler pairs elevated design with timeless sophistication just minutes from the shores of Lake Minnetonka. Step inside to soaring vaulted ceilings and a light-filled, open-concept floor plan that creates an immediate sense of space and elegance. At the heart of the home, a dramatic statement fireplace wall anchors the main living area, while the chef-inspired kitchen is designed to impress with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and an oversized island equally suited for casual mornings and memorable gatherings. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a spacious walk-in closet and beautifully appointed bath. A dedicated home office and convenient main-floor laundry add the thoughtful functionality and ease of living expected in a home of this caliber. The fully finished lower level offers exceptional flexibility, featuring a generous family room, three additional bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Whether hosting overnight guests, creating additional work-from-home space, entertaining, or accommodating multi-generational living, there is room to make it your own. Beyond the home itself is one of its greatest luxuries: the ability to truly embrace the Excelsior lifestyle. Leave the car behind and stroll to lakeside dining, the charming shops of the Village, and Kowalski’s Market just four blocks away. Connect to the nearby regional trail toward Carver Park, or spend the day at Excelsior Commons enjoying the beach, docks, tennis courts, and year-round recreation along the shores of Lake Minnetonka. More than a beautiful new home, this is an opportunity to enjoy the best of Excelsior without sacrificing the comfort, quality, and sophistication of brand-new construction. In a community where new-build opportunities are increasingly rare, this exceptional home and location are truly set apart.
