Incredible cottage charm abounds in this remodeled Minnetonka Beach lake home. The home sits on nearly an acre with SE exposure for long, light filled days. Its 90 feet of SE facing lakeshore has sandy bottom and includes a dock with lift. The stunning remodel by PKA architects, Streeter Homes, and Linda Engler Design in 2017 has transformed the space and created breathtaking views to the lake. The Kitchen has a wall of windows to the Lake, featuring premium appliances and materials. Breakfast bar/pantry complements the space. Main open living area with 2 fireplaces. The North side offers a quiet library/study, and a wet bar room that opens to the Lake. The front porch is a gracious 12' by 36' offering multiple screening configurations. Large mudroom and laundry center includes side entry access to the ¾ bath, perfect for lakeside living. Upper-level offers 4 bedrooms including a lake-facing primary bedroom with fireplace, ensuite 3/4 bath, and a dream closet. Two other generous, lake-facing bedrooms share a hall full bath with separate tub and shower. A fourth bedroom functions as a hang-out room for these owners. The unfinished lower level offers ample storage space for lake toys, accessible from the front side of the home. There is also space for additional finishing as might be desired. A new, 2017-built 3-car garage offers additional storage. Convenient access and guest parking around a large circular driveway. Come home!
