This classic mid-century modern home makes a dramatic statement with its vaulted & beamed cedar ceilings, large custom-framed windows, and a jaw-dropping living room fireplace that centers the space with striking texture and grand scale.
The fun doesn't stop there - the private fenced back yard features a full-size heated underground pool and patio and a retro-paneled family room with wet bar. There is also a screened porch in the back of the home for quiet relaxation. The lowest level features a rumpus room with even more mid-century touches.
While some rooms have been updated for modern convenience, it retains the MCM elements that make the architecture of this era so sought-after.
Located in the Hopkins school district just North of 394, it is surrounded by quaint city parks, Westwood Hills Nature Center, and Brookview Golf Course & Recreation Center. Enjoy all the conveniences that Golden Valley is legendary for including easy access to both Downtown and Lake Minnetonka, endless parks and trails, and great shopping & dining options. Exterior painting, sewer line and fiber optic cable installed in 2025. New roof in 2020.
