This midcentury modern house was custom-built by Sustainable 9 Design together with Unfold Architecture nestled along The Peninsula at Lake O’Dowd, a lakefront community located on a secluded, wooded peninsula in Shakopee, Minnesota. Inside this 6,866-square-foot home, you will find five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a sports court, an entertainment zone, lower-level spaces seamlessly connecting to the backyard and lake, and a three-car garage.

The main level features warm wood tones, and expansive windows, and is exclusively reserved for formal gatherings and entertaining. Continue below to see the rest of this impressive home tour…

This dwelling sits along the water on an expansive, wooded lot. The lot’s natural grade falls front to back, creating a modest approach with impactful views from within the home. Designed for an active, young family, a sports court and entertainment zone anchor the lower-level gathering spaces directly connected to the backyard and lake.

What We Love: This midcentury modern lake house boasts stunning views, eco-friendly design, and luxury finishes throughout. Expansive walls of glazing invite natural light inside while capturing idyllic nature-filled views. The open floor plan seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living, offering the perfect space for relaxation and entertaining. We especially love the covered patio entertainment zone with integrated heaters, a ping pong table, and a cozy seating area with a fireplace, perfect for indoor-outdoor living while being protected from the elements.
