Rare new construction just blocks from Lake Minnetonka. The Laurel, a main-level-living rambler by McDonald Construction Partners, is to be built on Lot 2 of Shorewood Meadow, an intimate enclave of just three new homesites along tree-lined Smithtown Road in Shorewood. Set on approximately 0.72 acres in the Minnetonka School District (ISD 276), the homesite offers 100 feet of width and room to customize. Choose the Laurel as planned, select another McDonald plan, or create a fully custom home. McDonald Construction Partners offers in-house design and architectural services, making it easy to tailor the home, layout and finishes to the way you want to live. As planned, the Laurel offers approximately 4,042 finished square feet with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a 3-car garage and a finished walkout lower level. A 12-foot foyer opens to a vaulted great room with wood ceiling beams and a gas fireplace, flowing into a vaulted dining area and a kitchen with a large center island, walk-in pantry and under-cabinet lighting. The main level also features the primary suite with a vaulted ceiling, a private bath with freestanding tub and walk-in shower with frameless glass door, and a walk-in closet, plus a second bedroom, a 3/4 bath, a study, main-level laundry and a mudroom with built-in bench. A screened porch and a 17x12 Trex deck with a concrete patio below extend the living space outdoors. The lower level adds a media room, a flex/exercise room, a wet bar, two more bedrooms and a full bath. Enjoy the Lake Minnetonka lifestyle just minutes from home. The Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail passes near the neighborhood, providing more than 15 miles of crushed-stone trail connecting Hopkins, Excelsior and Carver Park Reserve. Crescent Beach offers public swimming and a kayak and canoe launch on Lake Minnetonka. Downtown Excelsior features the independent shops, galleries and restaurants of Water Street, the Excelsior Commons beach and bandshell, the Port of Excelsior and summer cruises on the historic Steamboat Minnehaha. Freeman Park on Eureka Road has playgrounds, ballfields, soccer fields and wooded trails, and Carver Park Reserve, Lake Minnewashta Regional Park and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum are all nearby. Highway 7 is just south for an easy drive east into Minnetonka and Minneapolis. Photos are of a completed McDonald Laurel model with the same layout. They are not the actual home, and finishes and options shown may differ. Contact the listing agent to tour the Laurel model.
