This incredible dream home was designed to capture lake views by Alexander Design Group together with John Kraemer & Sons, located along Lake Minnetonka in Deephaven, Minnesota. When designing this home, the architects paid careful attention to detail both on the interior and exterior. The team was tasked with creating a home large enough for a family of eight.

This award-winning home was sited to integrate with the existing structures already on the property, including a boathouse and gatehouse. There are so many exciting features included in this dwelling, a huge home gym with a golf simulator, changing rooms for convenience after a swim in the lake or backyard pool, built-in water dispensers, two screened-in porches, a bunk room, lower-level bar, and plenty more.

Designed to take advantage of stunning lake views and natural light, this custom home was built with extreme attention to detail both inside and out. This architectural masterpiece features a circular driveway with attractive pavers along with a heated auto court. At the front entrance of the home, one is greeted by copper accents, cedar shake shingles, and a custom-fabricated mahogany front door.

When designing for a home this large, the challenge lay in creating warm and inviting spaces on both the main and lower level to accommodate large gatherings. The home also needed to feel intimate enough for just a few people.

The result is both a unique and impressive mix of walls of glass, an open plan layout, a neutral color palette, and handcrafted millwork — all elements that make the home perfect for both entertaining and cozy get-togethers. This house is truly special, offering everything the homeowners need.

What We Love: This Lake Minnetonka dream home provides a large family with casual yet stylish living spaces, both indoors and out. A fully furnished lower-level caters to gatherings with friends and family with convenient access to the fabulous backyard with sumptuous swimming pool. Overall, we are loving every detail of this dwelling, from the attractive exterior facade to all of the amazing amenities this home has to offer.
