4430 Shady Ln Minnetrista, MN 55364

From the moment you drive down Shady Lane, you will notice the mature overhanging trees, adjacent nature preserve of Lake Minnetonka Regional Park, and the amazing association lot on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, setting the stage for not only an amazing home, but an incredible lifestyle. The highly desirable neighborhood of Wood End Shores is nestled next to Lake Minnetonka Regional Park and adjacent Carver Park, offering thousands of acres of natural scenery, wildlife, and walking trails literally out your front door. You can welcome the morning sunrise from your front porch or watch the seasons change in the park from your living room or upper-level family room. Inside, the main level has been completely reimagined. The kitchen was opened to the dining room and rebuilt around a large island with new alder cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, and all-new appliances, with can lighting and a new above-sink window bringing in natural light. The living room was reworked with a raised sunken floor and a large new picture window framing private views, while the family room now centers on a new electric fireplace with tiled surround and built-in alder cabinetry. New LVP flooring runs throughout, complemented by all-new doors, hardware, and freshly painted walls and trim. The entryway makes a statement with wrought iron and alder stair railing beneath a new chandelier. Upstairs, recent updates include a custom-built closet in the main bedroom, all-new door hardware, and replacement of three previously fogged windows - alongside a minisplit system in the great room for year-round comfort. Outside, the roofline was altered to enlarge the front porch, and the home received a new roof, gutters, exterior lighting, concrete walkway, and landscaping, with the driveway recently resealed. Beyond the home itself, this is a neighborhood people don't want to leave. It's a true community anchored by a large beach that's a natural gathering place and direct trail access to the swim pond, playground, and trails of Lake Minnetonka Regional Park. You're one mile from the new Mackenthun's Grocery Store and Caribou Coffee, minutes from Excelsior's Water Street shops and restaurants, Wayzata's and Victoria's dining scenes, and everyday conveniences in Minnetonka, plus destinations like the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and the Carver Park trail system. The home falls within the well-regarded Westonka School District, with open enrollment options to Minnetonka available. Busing options exist for both schools. This is more than a house, it's a lifestyle on Lake Minnetonka's west side. Make this home your next chapter today!
