Overview

Description

Sold Pre-MLS stunning Like-New Home in the Heart of Cottagewood. An exceptionally rare offering that combines ultra-premium finishes with one of Cottagewood’s most coveted locations. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by walls of windows framing unrivaled panoramic views of Carson’s Bay. The open-concept main floor is both functional and refined, featuring a gourmet kitchen, an oversized pantry, a mudroom, and an attached two-car garage. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, the main level flows seamlessly to a spacious lakeside deck, perfect for dining, entertaining, or simply soaking in the views. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a lakeside primary suite with two closets and a spa-inspired bath featuring a dual vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. A thoughtfully designed upper-level laundry offers two washers and dryers for added convenience. The walkout lower level is ideal for entertaining and everyday living, with a generous family room, a flex room ideal for guest accommodations or a home office, an exercise area with sauna, and - rarely found in Cottagewood - a true indoor sport court. Outdoors, the property showcases extensive professional landscaping and 55 feet of premium lakeshore on Carson’s Bay, known for its A-rated, crystal-clear water. Enjoy a private sandy beach area, an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a swim, and a lifestyle that perfectly captures Americana lakeside living in one of Lake Minnetonka’s most desirable and historic settings. Opportunities like this seldom arise - from its nearly impossible-to-duplicate lot to its fully realized design and construction, this home presents a rare chance to skip the complexity of building new and enjoy a turnkey masterpiece on Lake Minnetonka’s beloved Carson’s Bay.
