Welcome to 605 Stubbs Bay Rd Orono. Within the award winning Orono School District, set on 7.27 acres and backing up to an additional five-acres of Orono Nature Preserve. This home has been completely updated from head to toe, inside and out, all while being in walking distance to Lake Minnetonka and the Luce Line trail. This is a fantastic find! THE LIVING SPACES: Set over two levels, as you walk in the front door, you're met with great natural light and warm wood tones. The formal sitting room is positioned perfectly in front of the nearly 100-year-old completely restored stone fireplace, with this space having a large picture frame window looking out to the expansive yard. Adjacent to this space you have the stunning kitchen which looks straight out of a country magazine; the copper sink, the exposed trusses and newly updated everything makes for a kitchen you just want to be in! The dining room is surrounded by windows that lead out to the patio. The family room on the main level is expansive while feeling cozy at the same time. A rustic feel in this space with the timber ceilings is perfect for relaxing on the sofa in front of the TV or entertaining for the big game. This space has a wet bar and is connected to a lovely three-season porch. THE SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS: The primary bedroom on the main level makes for convenient one-level-living. This space is completely private, almost feeling like a separate wing. The gorgeous wood trusses accentuate the vaulted ceilings, again saturated with natural light. A large private ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet with washer and dryer complete the owner’s suite. The upper level has two further bedrooms, with a central 3/4 bathroom. THE EXTERIOR: The cedar shingle siding provides the home with a timeless look. The new roof will give the new owner piece of mind of low maintenance. A patio looking over the expansive lawns, mowed walking trails throughout the seven acres, are great for wandering and pondering. A fire pit located a distance away from the home gives you a sense of the outdoors. An oversized three-car attached garage at the end of a curve drive in from the dead-end street is the perfect way to feel welcomed as you arrive home. THE POSITION: Walking distance to Lake Minnetonka and the Luce Line trail, a short drive to downtown Wayzata, multiple golf courses, county clubs, all whilst having the open private spaces of a large wooded lot. THE DEAL: Seven acres, fully updated interior and exterior, newer mechanicals, windows, appliances, electrical, everything is done; a fully dialed in home set on an expansive lot but also located close to everything you need in day-to-day life.
