121 Courtland St Excelsior, MN 55331

Some homes earn their place in a neighborhood. This one has. Set on a generous lot just a block and a half from Lake Minnetonka, this beautifully established two-story in the heart of Excelsior Village has been thoughtfully reimagined from the ground up over time - and it shows at every turn. The main floor balances easy living with real intention: a living room anchored by a gas fireplace and built-ins opens through a new slider to a screened porch, while the updated kitchen brings quartz countertops, stainless KitchenAid appliances, a tiled statement wall, and an eat-in dining area with a custom table and banquet. Nearly 900 square feet of new maintenance-free decking wraps the outdoor experience together, complete with a paver patio and bonfire area beneath a canopy of mature trees - the kind of backyard that makes summer plans easy. Upstairs, four bedrooms include a primary suite with walk-in closet, dual-sink vanity, steam shower, and a private balcony overlooking the backyard - a quiet perch you'll love morning or evening. A dedicated laundry room with a new LG washer and dryer keeps things running smoothly because you want to get your steps in, but not doing chores. The walkout lower level adds a fifth bedroom - finished like a suite with its own office space - alongside a family room with new LVP flooring and an updated three-quarter bath. Drain tile and radon mitigation have been addressed, so the bones are as solid as the finishes. Outside, James Hardie siding, fresh landscaping with irrigation, and an insulated and climate-controlled detached garage put a bow on this well considered package. Then there's the neighborhood itself. Walk down to The Commons for a summer Wednesday concert on the lake, spread a blanket for the Fourth of July fireworks display over the lake, or browse the juried artists at Art on the Lake - all practically in your backyard. Water Street is just as close: coffee in the morning, dinner in the evening, and the kind of downtown area that is as much fun, if not more, to live in as it is to visit. Minnetonka schools complete the picture.
