Description

This is a gem on Lake Minnetonka. Nestled on a quiet cove off Gideon's Bay, you will find this exceptional, architecturally designed home. Designed by owner and architect Kilstofte, the home was built with unparalleled craftsmanship and has timeless appeal. Set on a serene .72-acre lot, the property is perfectly sited and offers breathtaking, long and peaceful views of Lake Minnetonka. A sanctuary for nature lovers, you will enjoy frequent visits from Mallard ducks, loons, and majestic bald eagles.
The layout is designed to embrace the beauty of its surroundings, with expansive windows offering sweeping views of the tranquil bay and lake, seamlessly blending the indoor living spaces with the natural beauty outside.
The interior of the home is painted in neutral colors and offers a calm and natural tranquility. The main level features gorgeous Cumaru plank floors, a South American hardwood. The bathrooms were beautifully updated and include luxurious subway-tiled showers and heated tile floors.
The chef-inspired kitchen is well equipped, with stainless steel appliances, extensive cabinetry and an expansive peninsula with granite countertops, ideal for the home chef. It’s perfect for quiet meals at home or entertaining friends and family with beautiful lake views in the backdrop.
Outdoors, the property offers even more to enjoy—a large deck, lush gardens, a rain garden, and a private island. The island is shared with one neighbor and offers a gathering space, firepit and an all season, private dock on Lake Minnetonka. Whether you’re boating, fishing, or simply relaxing by the water, this property offers the perfect setting to unwind and enjoy the best of lakeside living.
Every detail of this home has been meticulously maintained, with significant updates including a new roof, new windows, and new HVAC system. Lakeside, a footbridge will bring you to the island where you will find a boat dock, lift and shore power.
Whether you’re savoring the peaceful setting or enjoying all that Lake Minnetonka has to offer, this property is a true sanctuary—an extraordinary opportunity to own a home in one of the most coveted locations, just minutes from the historic Village of Excelsior.
