Nestled among mature pine trees in a beautiful wooded Minnetonka neighborhood, this custom home offers a special blend of character, space, and thoughtful design. Originally built in 1938, the home was extensively expanded with a major addition (effective 1982), creating a one-of-a-kind residence that combines original charm with modern livability.  Rich woodwork and a mix of natural materials create a warm and inviting feel throughout, while large windows bring in an abundance of natural light and showcase the peaceful surroundings that add to the retreat-feel of the home.
