St. Albans Bay is a distinguished neighborhood of fine homes winding the shoreline of picturesque Lake Minnetonka.

The sleek kitchen features an open design with stainless appliances, and a large center island that functions both as prep space and a breakfast bar. Polished pearlescent black granite countertops create an eye catching contrast against the rich hardwood floors and maple cabinetry.

The adjoining Dining Room, with it’s own fireplace, makes a great place to enjoy a meal or venture out to the inviting deck and take in the views. An Impressive main-floor great room creates serious wow factor with its vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, beautiful built-in casework and fireplace. The bookshelves house a hidden door passageway to the adjoining unfinished 1,200 s.f. which could be used for additional bedrooms, or partitioned as a private mother-in-law or au pair suite. 3-panel craftsman-style maple doors reveal a private owner’s retreat with water views that could only be rivaled by a bed on the beach. Crown mouldings on a custom back-lit vaulted ceiling give a feeling of grace and grandeur. The bathroom showcases a travertine tile shower, a separate jetted tub, double sinks, and a grand walk-in closet. A private door from the owner’s suite to the deck offers a private place to relax in the sun. Wrought iron spindles line the staircase leading to the fully finished walk-out lower level where you will find two additional bedrooms, with stunning views, and an additional bath plus wonderful living spaces… The massive lower-level Family Room showcases a home theatre and adjoins the billiard area. A wet bar with wine storage, copper sink, and granite countertops provide the setting for serious entertaining.
