Nestled on the beautiful shores of Robinson’s Bay on Lake Minnetonka, this traditional home is rooted in the classic Deephaven lake cottage style.
A major renovation resulted in a complete transformation of all interior and exterior spaces, while retaining the original footprint and foundation of the home. A team of artisans crafted the richly detailed arched walnut beams of the great room, the new pine paneled study, and the reclaimed timber ceiling of the romantic “Cabin” above the garage.
Designed by Murphy & Co. Design, this traditional home has approx. 5500 square feet of timeless architectural details and inspiring elegance.

Butler’s Pantry
The butler’s pantry is spacious and has a wine fridge.

White Kitchen
This looks very clean and inviting. I like how the white cabinets are broken up by the center Island in the dark stain finish and the counter top and backsplash are a darker color. This is a good option for those who don’t like an all-white kitchen.
The cabinets have a lot of architectural detail to them especially above the sink area.
The glass cabinets are used to separate the kitchen from the dining room.
Island Dimensions: Approx. 9′ x 3′-6″.
Floors are walnut.
Kitchen Cabinets
The custom cabinet doors feature antique glass.
The cabinetry houses unique glassware and dinnerware of the owner, and on the far back portion is the double ovens.
Corbel
Inspiring corbel details.
Family Room
The hearth room has beamed ceilings and hidden TV on automatic lift.

This is such an elegant closet! You feel the quality of this space.

The architectural details are wonderful and the furnishings, deco details, etc. enhance it perfectly. Has a very kick your shoes off, stay awhile attitude. The cabinetry w/antique glass housing the dinnerware has me drooling with envy!
I agree with the comments above. I love every single thing in that home. It’s so spacious yet manages to be cozy too. Love all the glass and light.
Thanks, Luciane xoox
Unsure about this one…
What could be an amazing front view is ruined by the garage, which seems to be the focal point at the front. inside although without doubt some beautiful details, what on earth possessed them in regards to those drainpipes! Yickes!
Cannot wait to see some more of those beautiful cottages you post – especially as I live in a cottage in the UK.
New here and enjoying the posts!

Faye,
The entrance to the garage must be near the driveway and near the front door as the home is a lake front home where owners often want an impressive lackside view (instead of front door or curbside appeal).
The rain gutters are made out of copper (and when new, they are have a very shiny/bronzish orange hue). Over time, the gutters will oxidate and age with a black/greenish rustic appearance that will compliment the gray shingles of the home as well as the surrouding vegetation.

The crown molding and ceilings are phenomenal!
