Excelsior Commons

This expansive, 3-story home is located less than 2 miles away from the heart of Downtown Excelsior on the southeast side of Lake Minnetonka. With a bright, updated kitchen, ranging backyard, home movie theater, and private office, there's everything you need for your next big vacation or extended stay away from home!

Pull up into the 6-car driveway and make the most of this bright and updated suburban home. The first floor includes a large, fully stocked and renovated kitchen with a large island, 6-burner stove and stainless appliances. The open floor plan is perfect for big families or groups, with the adjacent dining area and island bar stools providing ample seating. Call up your best piano player or let us hire one for you, with the Kawai Baby Grand, tuned and ready for your very own private concert!

Across from the kitchen is the living room, where you'll find comfy couches, cable TV, and a customizable Shiatsu massage chair.

Just off the front entry, you'll find a private office with a long, wrap-around desk. This property is ideal for those who need to telework while they travel, whether it's a business trip, working vacation, or waiting for your home remodeling to finish up.

When you're ready for a classic summer cookout, step out on the back deck and grill up a storm. The backyard is big and wide, perfect for tossing the frisbee, or letting the kids expend some energy. (*Please note: due to an issue with the grass in spring 2022, the grounds are being re-seeded at this home which will affect the use of the yard through following summer(s).)

From there, it's up to you to explore upstairs or downstairs next!

Downstairs, you will find the home movie theater, wet bar, ping pong table, and treadmill. Sliding doors open up to the back yard. If you're lucky enough to claim the full-size bedroom, you'll have your very own bathroom as well.

Following the staircase up to the 2nd floor, you'll find the master bedroom with en suite, including your very own jacuzzi, shower, and walk-in closet. The 2nd floor also includes three more bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a lounge, and a long hallway desk with two spots for work or study. Excelsior Commons is truly a home with space and amenities for everything you need!
