Beautifully renovated Minnetonka home set on a rare 1.22-acre wooded lot with a scenic creek, offering exceptional privacy and a peaceful natural setting while remaining close to everyday conveniences. Located in the award-winning Hopkins School District and within walking distance to charming downtown Hopkins, this property offers a unique blend of nature and accessibility.
This well-maintained home features approximately 2,100 finished square feet with a functional layout including 2 bedrooms on the main level and 1 bedroom in the walkout lower level, along with 2 bathrooms, one of which has been recently professionally renovated. The updated kitchen showcases quartz countertops, white shaker-style cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, all open to the living and dining areas for comfortable everyday living and entertaining. Hardwood floors add warmth and character throughout the main living spaces.
Enjoy outstanding indoor-outdoor living with a spacious 3-season porch and a deck off the dining room overlooking the private wooded backyard and creek—perfect for relaxing or entertaining while taking in the surrounding natural beauty. The walkout lower level leads to a fenced backyard, offering additional outdoor enjoyment and flexibility. A 2-car attached garage adds everyday convenience, and major updates including a full interior renovation and roof replacement in 2015 provide peace of mind.
