This breathtaking cottage-inspired lakeside home was designed by architectural studio Charlie & Co. Design, located on Lake Minnetonka, in Tonka Bay, Minnesota. Spread out over three levels, this inviting retreat was designed for family living and entertaining both indoors and out. Upon entrance into this 5,550 square foot home, you will find that it radiates with warmth and openness, offering exquisite amenities throughout.
