Commanding 180-degree views across Lake Marion and Robinson Bay from a private 6-acre hilltop in Woodland, this Kyle Hunt-crafted Nantucket Shingle-Style estate offers unmatched privacy minutes from downtown Wayzata and top-rated Minnetonka schools with nearly $1M in recent upgrades delivering a like-new experience throughout. The great room anchors the home with a wall of windows framing sweeping lake views, a tray ceiling, and custom tile fireplace. The main-floor office opens through French doors to the deck, while the sun-filled family room flows to the screened porch, wraparound deck, and stone paver patio with each space designed to keep the lake in frame. A kidney-shaped pool with wood decking and glass railings sits nestled among mature oaks, with sight lines to the water preserved from every angle. The chef's kitchen features Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, custom cabinetry, and a large island connected to the dining room through a striking slate-blue butler's pantry. The primary suite offers a spa-caliber marble bath, while three additional en suite bedrooms and a loft complete the upper level. The walkout lower level adds a family room with fireplace and wet bar, billiards room, and a fifth en suite bedroom. Recent upgrades include a new cedar shingle roof, both HVAC systems, water heaters, whole-house generator, remodeled lower level, new wood flooring, and a full electronics package with 16-zone Sonos and three home theater systems.
Nantucket Shingle Style estate built by Kyle Hunt and designed by Peter MacDonald. Spectacular 6-acre setting on a hilltop overlooking Lake Marion and Robinson Bay. Fine architectural details, with wonderful window-scapes filing the home with natural light. Each room has something special. The open floor plan flows seamlessly between formal and informal, from the large great room to the cozy "scotch" room. Serene patio and in-ground pool with unobstructed views of the natural surroundings.
