Stonewood has built this warm and welcoming cottage-style house that showcases breathtaking views of Carman Bay on Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota. Balancing refinement with warmth, the design allows for scenic views from the gathering room and lakeside dining room. The serene owner’s bedroom suite features a private balcony with sweeping vistas over the bay.

A cozy office borrows views of the lake through the sunroom, which opens to a sprawling main-level patio with a fire pit. Homeowners can also enjoy a covered patio with an outdoor shower that is nestled along the lake. A large office and exercise room are situated above the garage, while the lower level features a sunken media room, guest room, bar, and wine cellar.

What We Love: This beautiful cottage boasts warm and inviting living spaces with a hint of sophistication. Large windows frame views of this home’s tranquil lakeside setting. The windows also help to flood the interiors with natural light. A finished basement level gives owners an opportunity for additional space for entertaining. Overall we love the neutral warm tones throughout that keeps this home feeling light and airy.
