This stunning Nantucket coastal style retreat was designed by City Homes, nestled on the idyllic Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota. The owners are a couple who wished for an escape from city life, finding this lakefront homesite perfect for constructing their dream home.
The project team began with a timeless east-coast Hamptons style exterior that comes complete with a look-out tower that encompasses a luminous stairwell in addition to a bunk room and game room on the garret (habitable attic) level.
What We Love: This Nantucket coastal style retreat provides a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for lakeside living. An exceptionally designed exterior facade opens into light-filled living spaces with grand views over the lake. We are loving all of the entertaining options offered in this home and the warm and welcoming environment courtesy of the beachy home decor.

The lake takes center stage on the interior of this home with expansive views through large windows.
This home has a separate entry from the lake for simple access to a bathroom and changing room, a highly functional space for each lake living,
Family and guests will adore all of the entertaining options offered in this dwelling. Highlights include a kitchen and dining area that leads out to a four-season porch with Phantom Screens that is accessible via a Marvin bifold door. The screened porch is perfect for entertaining, as it features a bar and a 42-inch Astria Georgian fireplace.
Outside, an exquisite bluestone patio with comfortable furnishings and a gas fireplace offer sweeping views over Lake Minnetonka.
On the second level you will find the owner’s suite with endless lake views, two spacious en-suite bedrooms, and a golf simulator entertaining space located over the three-car garage.
A white oak staircase with painted risers leads up to the garret level which encompasses a bunk room that sleeps up to four overnight guests. There is also a game room clad in white enameled shiplap, all adding to the nautical-inspired aesthetic of this home.
