Along Lake Minnetonka's serene shoreline, this luxury shingle-style lake home embodies both timeless elegance and a couple’s cherished childhood memories. Crafted with meticulous attention by local artisans, its classic pale-blue-gray cedar shakes with 6” reveal seamlessly blend with the natural landscape. Curved corbel brackets at eaves, vaulted roofline, and Simpson Nantucket entry door, enhance the exterior’s traditional East Coast waterfront style.

Inside, the entry features a striking staircase of dark stained treads, pristine white risers, custom white oak handrail and turned balusters. Painted box beams and crown moldings, tongue and groove vertical paneling, and meticulous finish carpentry envelop every corner of the interior, while TruStile Spanish Colonial doors partition bedrooms and baths.

Adjoining the open concept living/dining room/kitchen, three sets of French doors by Marvin Windows and Doors gracefully usher in views and the breeze, revealing a seamless transition to the stone patio with unobstructed views of the lake. Here, a grilling and dining nook with retractable Phantom Screen walls convert the space from screened-in porch to alfresco patio dining with ease.

Upstairs, a spacious deck provides unparalleled vistas of the lake, and a view of a meandering pathway down to the private dock.

The pool house is the jewel of the home, standing as a welcoming retreat and offering a break from the sun. It doubles as both cabana and boathouse. The home perched 30 feet above the lake, where the recessed pool and hot tub create an illusion of merging with the horizon, is a testament to the harmonious relationship between land and water.

Crafted with thoughtful consideration, this Minnesota Lake Home boasts construction details that enhance its charm, with every element speaking to quality and craftsmanship. A sanctuary, amidst whispering pines and lapping waves, it's more than just a home—it's a testament to enduring bonds, the beauty of nature, and the art of living well.
