Property Description
Nestled on a rare double lot along a picturesque peninsula in Gideon's Bay on Lake Minnetonka, this exquisite lakeside residence offers 100 feet of prime shoreline with an enviable east-facing exposure-perfect for capturing serene sunrises over the water. A dramatic two-story foyer with soaring vaulted ceilings welcomes you into a home that masterfully blends timeless craftsmanship with modern luxury. The exterior features a paver driveway and walkway leading to a screened-in lakeside patio, ideal for tranquil evenings or entertaining with unobstructed water views. Enjoy outdoor living with a built-in grill, fire pit, and private dock equipped with two boat slips. Inside, rich cherry woodwork, elegant crown molding, custom built-ins, and a double-sided fireplace create an ambiance of sophistication and warmth. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is a host's dream, showcasing a spacious center island, Sub-Zero appliances, granite countertops, and seamless flow into the living and dining areas.

Additional highlights include a state-of-the-art media room with integrated electronics, surround sound, recessed lighting, and a heated, oversized four-car garage with durable polyurea flooring and a private bonus room above, accessible via a separate stairway. This home is a rare opportunity to own a private lakeside sanctuary where luxury meets natural beauty in one of Lake Minnetonka's most coveted locations.
