Tucked at the end of the peninsula on Medicine Lake, this well-maintained home delivers the privacy and space most buyers dream of. Enjoy nearly 40 feet of southwest-facing lakeshore with open views across the water to an undeveloped peninsula — no homes or docks, just pure tranquility. A long driveway leads back to the home on a private .35-acre lot, immediately creating a sense of seclusion. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels more like a Northwoods retreat than a metro address, with mature trees and peaceful surroundings that belie the fact you are only minutes from downtown Minneapolis. A very well-maintained home, inside and out, this home shows the pride of ownership at every turn. Recent improvements include a new roof with high-end 50-year shingles, a new air conditioning system and newly connected city water. Along with past upgrades and renovations, this home is move in ready. Medicine Lake itself is one of the west metro’s true hidden gems: a fully recreational lake with excellent fishing, boating, paddling, and wildlife (think eagles, loons, and quiet mornings on the water). Just steps away from the home is a beautiful community park, featuring new playground equipment, two pickleball courts, and tennis courts, adding even more convenience and recreation right in the neighborhood. This home is in the top-rated Wayzata school district and close to trails, shopping, and dining. This is a rare opportunity to own a home on the sought-after peninsula of Medicine Lake with an unusually open and private view. 225 Peninsula Road is waiting...
Plymouth-Wayzata, located between Lake Minnetonka and Medicine Lake, is a lakeside and suburban Plymouth neighborhood with wooded shorelines and polished retail pockets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Wayzata Boulevard–Lake Street corridor, where marina slips, sidewalk patios, and small storefronts set a lake-town cadence. Wayzata Bar & Grill, 6Smith, and the Wayzata Depot anchor local routines with dining, gathering, and a touch of rail history. Housing ranges from mid-century ramblers to newer builds on curving, tree-lined streets. Trails and parks stitch together water views and everyday errands. The pace feels outdoors-forward, with boats, bikes, and café tables sharing the same calendar.
