This empty nesters dream house designed by Aspect Design Build together with Stone Design Associates overlooks Smithtown Bay, one of the most peaceful bays on Lake Minnetonka in Excelsior, Minnesota. This inspiring custom home boasts mountain modern lakeside architecture with vaulted ceilings and spacious entertaining areas that bring the bay into each room.

Step into this gorgeous home through a pivoting door that is custom-fabricated out of walnut. Inside, you are greeted by a feature wall that is crafted from stone and geometric walnut slats that enables a moment of reprieve before the full beauty of the house is revealed. Interior living spaces focus on the spectacular view of the bay.
