C’mon in! The water’s fine! And the rest of this Minnetonka home isn’t too bad either. But I’m a deck sittin’, poolside sippin’ kind of guy, so this home fits me just fine. The pool, the hot tub, the private views of Purgatory creek all add up to one fun house.
With six bedrooms and three baths, this spacious split-level can easily handle crowds of kids, pets, people and maybe even a couple of those pesky teenagers. It has nearly 2,800 square feet on two levels and has a great flowing, open floor plan. The back yard is entirely fenced in and wonderfully private. You can skinny dip with confidence and little fear of scaring the neighbors.
The kitchen has lots of counters and storage and is accessed directly from the garage. Most split entries aren’t designed this way, so this is a huge plus. Trust me, I’ve lived in homes that don’t have this access and it’s a pain, especially in winter. Also, this kitchen has a huge area for informal dining so it’s not necessary to mess up the dining room for family eating.
This spacious formal dining area is a step up (literally) from the rest of the home. The raised platform defines the space from the rest of the sunlight drenched living room and is conveniently located next to the kitchen. Just slide the patio doors open for warm summer breezes or eat outside on the huge deck system.
And the fun continues downstairs. There are three more bedrooms and a bath here, but it’s the huge family room that really makes this level worth seeing. Check out the floor to ceiling brick fireplace for winter time warmth, or slip outside to the hot tub and really crank up the heat. I suppose it would be possible to leave water in the pool and use it for a skating rink during the winter. That last statement just goes to show how Minnesotan winters can affect your sanity.
I don’t want to give anyone the wrong impression, but this part of the home may just be my favorite. Put a couple of big screen TVs down here and I wouldn’t need to even think about using the pool as a hockey rink. Winter therapy for Minnesotans?
Put it all together and you’ve got an incredible home. Lots of room, lots of light, lots of fun. This home was built to be enjoyed, so give me a call for a tour. And bring your swim suit or hockey stick, depending on the time of year. It’s fun here all year long.
