First time ever on the market! Lovingly maintained by its original owners, this spacious 5-bedroom, 4-bath Minnetonka home offers an inviting blend of classic character, thoughtful updates, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. The main level welcomes you with a generous living room, formal dining room with access to the screened porch, and a warm family room featuring a bay window, fireplace, and built-ins. At the heart of the home is the Nordic-inspired chef’s kitchen, beautifully appointed with a Viking range, new refrigerator, separate beverage refrigerator, and a sunny breakfast nook with patio doors opening to the expansive outdoor deck. A convenient main-level laundry is tucked into the mudroom, just off the kitchen and adjacent to the powder room. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms include a generous primary suite with walk-in closet and updated 3/4 bath. The walkout lower level adds incredible flexibility with a second family room, large finished bonus room—perfect for a home gym, creative space, playroom or office—plus a fifth bedroom and 3/4 bath, creating an ideal private retreat for guests or extended living. Outside, beautifully landscaped grounds on an oversize lot create a lovely backdrop for everyday living and entertaining, with low-maintenance decking, a screened porch, and irrigation system for easy upkeep. According to the City of Minnetonka permit history, the AC and furnace were replaced in 2019. Set in a sought-after location and served by the Minnetonka school district, this is a rare opportunity to own a spacious, well-loved home with room for everyone—and make it your own for the next chapter.
Sparrow, located between Ridgedale Center and Lake Minnetonka, is a residential and commercial Minnetonka neighborhood with wooded streets and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Ridgedale Drive and Wayzata Boulevard corridor, where storefronts, patios, and steady foot traffic set a polished, suburban-urban rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ramblers and newer townhome clusters, with curving roads and mature trees shaping the streetscape. Daily life orbits retail and dining nodes rather than a single main street. Nearby trails and lakeshore access points add a nature-forward counterpoint to the shopping district. Seasonal events and public gathering spaces in the Ridgedale area give the neighborhood its social pulse.
