Alexander Design Group, together with Denali Custom Homes, designed this stunning modern yet rustic lake house nestled along Carman Bay on beautiful Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota. The design of this dwelling perfectly complements its glorious setting, maximizing views through large casement windows in bronze from the MarvinElevate collection.

Timber beam accents complement the low-maintenance stone siding and expansive glass walls, including 24-foot bi-fold doors that open the main level completely to the lake. Inside, the rustic charm continues with a stunning stone fireplace in the four-season porch, reclaimed post and beams, and rustic oak hardwood floors.

The open main floor seamlessly flows from a spacious kitchen designed for entertaining, through a window-filled gathering room and large dining area, past a wet bar featuring a striking glass wine wall, and out onto the porch—perfect for hosting both large gatherings and intimate get-togethers with family and friends.

What We Love: This house on Lake Minnetonka seamlessly blends modern design with natural beauty. The expansive windows offer breathtaking lake views from nearly every room, creating a perfect connection to the outdoors. The open-concept layout is ideal for entertaining, while the luxurious yet cozy details throughout make it an idyllic lakeside retreat to enjoy with family and friends.
