About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home nestled on a generous, tree-lined lot in the heart of Tonka Bay. Located in the award-winning Minnetonka school district, this property offers the ideal blend of privacy, comfort, and convenience—all just a five-minute walk from public Lake Minnetonka access with dock eligibility through the City of Tonka Bay. Step inside to find an inviting floor plan with warm natural light, hardwood floors, and ample space for entertaining. The open-concept kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, while large windows and sliding doors frame tranquil views of the backyard oasis. Outside, you’ll find your own private retreat. Lounge by the in-ground pool with peace of mind—all pool mechanicals have been replaced within the past six years—or unwind in the beautifully landscaped yard where deer, wild turkeys, foxes, owls, and loons are frequent visitors. The lower level includes a cozy family room with fireplace, perfect for movie nights or hosting guests, while the upper level features a spacious primary suite with en-suite bath and generous closet space. Additional features include an attached two-car garage, updated mechanicals, and mature trees that provide both shade and privacy. Whether you’re watching wildlife from your patio or heading to the lake for a sunset boat ride, this home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy lake life without the lakeshore taxes.
