This nautical style cottage is the work of Alexander Design Group along with building company Stonewood, nestled on Lake Minnetonka, in Minnetrista, Minnesota. Encompassing 8,600 square feet of living space, there are six bedrooms, five full baths and two half-baths. The ultimate entertainment home there are plenty of highlights throughout. On the exterior facade, a curved gabled roofline adds a beautiful touch.
On the interior, the kitchen features a commercial range, while a beautiful home office showcases custom woodwork and a spiral staircase. A spacious bunk room was built to accomodate overnight guests. To top off this amazing home, the show-stopping lake views!
