1775 Retreat Circle Minnetrista, MN 55364

Your patience and selectiveness have paid off. This rare home looks and feels even better in person than the AI-enhanced listing photos that so often disappoint. It is hard to know where to begin describing this gem, but two words stand out: “options” and “utility.” Whatever your family needs, this “Retreat” offers the flexibility to become your long-term address of distinction. Do not miss the full second kitchen on the lower level. This impressive space could function as its own apartment, complete with a second laundry area in the closet. It is ideal for extended family members, kids who need their own space, or classic entertaining.

This home was constructed with premium materials and components designed to reduce costly maintenance and repairs for years to come, aside from routine upkeep. One example is the casement windows, which feature Marvin’s highly dependable and durable Ultrex series.

A standout feature on the lowest level is the hard-to-find 9-foot ceiling height. Paired with generous south- and west-facing windows, this design brings in abundant natural light and makes the space feel open, comfortable, and highly usable.

Your neighbor on the right [north], is the 140-acre Kingswood Park, which is managed by the Three Rivers Park District. [See more info in photo captions]

A Description of Little Long Lake and Kingswood Park from a Metropolitan Council bulletin:

Simplicity and serenity on the shores of county’s cleanest lake:

It’s a great place to visit for hiking and fishing. And because it is mostly undeveloped, it also is serene and uncrowded, said Tom Knisely of Three Rivers Park District.

“Thanks to the glacial terrain limiting runoff into the lake, Little Long Lake is Hennepin County’s cleanest body of water. The lake’s deep, well-oxygenated water is home to trout, a rarity in the Twin Cities, as well as panfish and northern pike,” he said.

“The park is also home to a large stand of the original ‘big woods’ forest comprised mostly of old growth sugar maple and basswood. It’s pretty cool to experience.”
