Property Description

Clean mid-century lines soften here into something closer to a bungalow, low and grounded, warm rather than grand, built to a human scale that makes a room feel held rather than vast. It is a sensibility more than a grand style: horizontal proportions, an easy flow from space to space, and a floor plan that works the way people actually live. Four bedrooms and three baths unfold across three levels. Three bedrooms, a full bath with a ¾ bath attached to the primary, occupy the upper level. The main floor carries the living, cooking, eating, and gathering space. Below, a fully finished lower level adds a fourth bedroom (or maybe an office) and a second full bath. It is finished and in use, not a project waiting on a budget. Every level of this home earns its keep. Built in 1982, it is the newest home of its kind on the market in this pocket of Minnetonka, where most surrounding and available inventory dates to the 1950s and 1970s. That difference shows up where it matters, in the construction, the mechanicals, and the simple absence of deferred decisions. Yet it lives with quiet ease that newer construction rarely manages. Behind the house is the surprise. After walking through the four-season porch, the backyard is remarkably private, sheltered and uninterrupted, and still unlandscaped. In an established neighborhood where every yard has long since been decided, this one remains an open canvas, waiting for a garden, a patio, a fire pit, or simply room to breathe. The location does the rest of the work. Hopkins School District 270, with Glen Lake Elementary close by. Highway 7 and I-494 are minutes out, placing the western suburbs and downtown Minneapolis equally within reach, while Grays Bay on Lake Minnetonka, downtown Hopkins, and the shops and services of Glen Lake are all a short drive away. Newer than nearly everything that is available for sale around it. Four true bedrooms. Finished space on every level. A private backyard most established neighborhoods can no longer offer. And the best-priced way into an area where homes rarely come available, and even more rarely stay that way.
