Don’t let the Baker Road address fool you - this stately custom built 2 story walkout is located on a secluded private lane way off Baker Road in Minnetonka. Step into the inviting entry and admire the sun-filled 2 story space featuring beautiful hardwood floors and the wrought-iron New Orleans inspired bannisters. The home was designed so the living room and dining room spaces would flow effortlessly to the front patio when entertaining guests. Note the beautiful french doors in both rooms. The sprawling main floor also features a private study off the living room, a spacious family room that opens to the eat-in kitchen, a wet bar between the living room and family room and a butler’s pantry between the dining room and the kitchen, a main floor mud room and laundry.
The French Country kitchen opens to the informal dining area and offers a breakfast bar and a center island, beautiful knotty pine cabinets plus a walk-in pantry, Sub-Zero refrigerator, wall oven and coffee station along with a convenient butler’s pantry on the way to the dining room.
The upper level features a lovely master retreat plus 3 large bedrooms all having attached baths. All the bedrooms have beautiful raised coffered ceilings, walk-in closets and custom built-ins. A total of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on one level! There is a 5th bedroom with a private attached bath on the walk-out lower level (perfect for a live-in nanny, in-law or just a private retreat for guests).
The very impressive “Hunt Club” inspired lower-level family room was all hand built by true craftsmen with stunning cherry woodwork throughout. The carpet was designed specifically for this room and imported from England. This walk out lower level was transformed to feel like you stepped into your own private country club with a private office, custom wet bar and hearth/billiards room.
There are over 6400 finished sq., full walkout lower level, 3 fireplaces, custom millwork, real hardwood floors. New "Garlock French" Roof 2017. New Driveway 2018. Over-sized 3 car garage. A gorgeous retreat with the peaceful wooded setting and seasonal lake views.
Minnetoga Lake is a very good fishing lake and neighbors each pay $10 a year to stock the lake. Note: The neighbors have an easement across this property for the private lane, land on the north side of the private lane belongs with this property.
Plenty of room to add more parking...
