Designed by celebrated Minnesota modernist architect Carl Graffunder—whose work reflects influences from Frank Lloyd Wright, Antonin Raymond, Walter Gropius, and Marcel Breuer—40 East Golden Lake Road is a rare architectural offering where thoughtful design, warm materials, and lakefront living come together in a cohesive whole. Privately situated on .56 acres with 92 feet of shoreline on Golden Lake, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home is carefully oriented to its setting, with nearly every room capturing expansive lake views. Large windows and a natural interior flow connect daily living—morning coffee, cooking, dining, or quiet reflection—directly to the water beyond.
Golden Lake adds another layer of distinction, offering a peaceful waterfront setting with southwest exposure and beautiful sunsets. The lake benefits from ongoing environmental stewardship, including upstream stormwater treatment systems and in-lake aeration that support water quality, oxygen levels, and healthy fish habitat, reflecting a long-term commitment to ecological balance.
Outside, direct shoreline access invites kayaking, fishing, winter skating, or quiet moments by the water, while mature trees and natural buffers provide privacy. The location remains highly convenient—just minutes from Blaine, Lino Lakes, and the broader Twin Cities metro—yet feels quietly removed from it all. Homes on Golden Lake are rarely available, making this a unique opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed modernist residence in a setting where both architecture and lake are carefully sustained over time.
