Nestled in a highly sought-after neighborhood just minutes from Waconia, this stunning home offers the perfect blend of peaceful small-town living and everyday convenience. Overlooking scenic Brand Lake and adjacent CRP land, you’ll feel like you’re tucked away in the countryside, yet still just a short drive to shopping, dining, and major routes. From the moment you arrive, the setting captures your heart. A private trail just beyond the backyard invites daily walks surrounded by wildlife, while the refinished deck with stairs to the backyard offers easy access to the features below. The stunning screened porch with vaulted ceilings and rich wood finishes creates a cozy, elevated space to take in the breathtaking views year-round. Inside, the home is a showcase of craftsmanship and character. Rustic yet refined, you’ll find beautiful stone accents, custom built-ins, hardwood floors, Cambria countertops, and warm, thoughtful woodwork throughout. The floorplan is anything but ordinary-designed with unique angles and intentional spaces that make this expansive home feel inviting, comfortable, and truly special. The main level offers nearly 1,900 square feet, featuring a luxurious primary suite complete with its own gas fireplace wrapped in elegant white stone, dual closets, and a spa-like bathroom with soaking tub and tiled walk-in shower. You’ll also find convenient main-floor laundry just off the garage, a half bath perfect for everyday living, and a stunning front office that could easily serve as a playroom or be converted into a fourth bedroom. The walkout lower level is equally impressive, featuring a cozy wood-burning fireplace (with a generous supply of firewood included), a bar area perfect for entertaining, two spacious bedrooms, a full bathroom, abundant storage, and even a dedicated safe room. There’s also a thoughtfully tucked-away secondary walkout for added functionality, along with a designated space ready for a future hot tub. Located in the Central Public Schools (Norwood Young America) district, with the option for open enrollment into Waconia Public Schools, this home offers flexibility and options. Beyond the home itself, the location is hard to beat. This gem is approximately 10 minutes to Waconia, about 20 minutes to Chaska, 25 minutes to Chanhassen, and under 45 minutes to Minneapolis, making it an ideal retreat without sacrificing accessibility. This is more than just a home...it’s a lifestyle. A rare opportunity to own a property that offers space, character, privacy, and connection to nature, all in one unforgettable package.
