About this home
Welcome to the Excelsior's Timber Manor, A rare and meticulously maintained estate nestled in the prestigious Lake Lucy Highlands. Held by its original owners since its completion in 1987, this timber-frame masterpiece represents a perfect marriage of rustic craftsmanship and modern luxury, all set on a sprawling 2.5-acre wooded lot just steps from the shores of Lake Lucy. The home invites you to experience the warmth of authentic post-and-beam construction, where the main level welcomes you with soaring vaulted ceilings, natural woodwork, and an abundance of light through expansive windows that bring the forest inside. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen that is a true chef’s delight, featuring a center island, high-end stainless steel appliances, and a convenient walk-in pantry. This kitchen carries a unique legacy, having hosted countless Society of Amateur Chefs test dinners and charity events prepared by its resident Honorary Old Goat Chef. Nearby, the convenient main-floor primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, complete with an ensuite bath, a spacious walk-in closet, and a private seating room—perfect for a home office or fitness area—that walks out directly to the deck. The living spaces are designed for comfort and connection, allowing you to cozy up by the two-story fieldstone wood-burning fireplace located in the formal living room and gas burning one in the lower-level family room. The layout includes thoughtful additions such as guest upstairs quarters with a full bathroom, a dedicated home office, a sun-drenched three-season porch, and a spacious upper-level loft perfect for a library or creative studio. Below, the fully finished walk-out basement expands the living space significantly, designed for recreation with a dedicated billiard room, two additional large bedrooms, a private office, and easy access to the lower-level patio and lush backyard. Privacy is paramount on this 2.5-acre retreat, characterized by a private entrance leading you to a dramatic circular driveway and its center island with water garden feature, convenient oversized three-car garage and generous tree coverage that offers a secluded sanctuary within the vibrant Excelsior community. You can relax on the large deck overlooking the woods and the water garden river or enjoy the hot tub after a long day, all with the peace of mind that comes from a pre-inspected home featuring a newer roof. Situated in a dynamite location within the award-winning Minnetonka School District, you are just minutes away from the charming shops and dining of downtown Excelsior, the beauty of Lake Minnetonka, and various regional parks and trails. Pride of ownership throughout every square inch in and out! Pre-inspected before market with full inspection report available.
