FEATURES

DETAILS

Exceptional walkout rambler in Minnetonka’s Emerald Ridge—tucked into a private cul-de-sac in the award-winning Wayzata School District (#284), zoned to Central Middle School and Birchview Elementary. This custom-built home by Martinson Custom Homes offers approx. 6,100 finished sq ft, including a stunning 600 sq ft luxury 3-season porch addition by Mom’s Landscaping. With natural timber, a dual-sided wood-burning fireplace, and peaceful views of the private, landscaped backyard, the porch delivers a true “up north” vibe just minutes from the city. Set on an elevated, wooded site, the property offers rare seclusion in a neighborhood setting—framing each room with natural privacy while still allowing for abundant light and scenic seasonal views. Step inside to rich Brazilian cherry floors, custom tray ceilings, and millwork that blends traditional warmth with contemporary sophistication. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Bosch dishwasher, and a commercial-grade Wolf gas range beneath a custom vent hood. French doors off the kitchen lead to an expansive deck—ideal for grilling, entertaining, or enjoying a quiet morning with coffee and birdsong. The vaulted family room, informal dining area, and great room—anchored by a bowed wall of windows and granite-surround fireplace—offer an open yet refined flow. The formal dining room includes a built-in wine bar with granite counter, glass-front cabinetry, and wine cooler. Just off the foyer, a handsome library with built-ins provides the perfect setting for work or reading. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with its own gas fireplace, sitting room/office, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with limestone surround, oversized shower, whirlpool tub, separate vanities, makeup area, and water closet. A stylish powder room, main-floor laundry with Asko appliances, and mudroom with built-in cherry “lockers” round out the main floor. The walkout lower level was designed for connection and comfort. A slate-floored wet bar features Sub-Zero undercounter refrigeration and dishwasher drawers. The expansive media/family room opens to the backyard and includes a gas fireplace and built-ins. Four bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or home offices—two connected via Jack-and-Jill bath, one with ensuite ¾ bath. A dedicated hobby room with under cabinet lighting offers excellent workspace with integrated storage, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar awaits the collector or casual enthusiast alike. The smart home system includes Savant whole-home audio and Lutron smart lighting, allowing you to control lighting, sound, and comfort settings straight from your phone. Over $1,000,000 has been invested in upgrades and ongoing maintenance, including landscaping, fireplaces, lower-level remodel, primary bath remodel, home automation, in-ceiling speakers, whole-house generator, heated 3-car garage, cedar shake roof, in-ground irrigation, extensive stonework, security system and more. Meticulous records accompany the property, including builder plans, maintenance logs, and system manuals. Every upgrade and improvement has been documented, offering buyers rare transparency and peace of mind. Enjoy every season: lush summer gardens, crisp autumn evenings by the fire, cozy winter gatherings, and the first signs of spring viewed from the porch. Located minutes from Ridgedale, downtown Wayzata, Lake Minnetonka, Target, restaurants, parks, golf, and the Luce Line Trail, this is a rare offering—bringing together architectural integrity, refined features, and everyday livability in one of Minnetonka’s most coveted neighborhoods.
