One of the Lakes’ most stunning landmark homes, 2308 West Lake of the Isles Parkway, stands as an epitome of purposeful and thoughtful design. This extraordinary 5-bedroom, 3 ½ bath home, available for only the fourth time in a century, is uniquely situated on the lake with a commanding presence.
With its southern exposure, every room is bathed in natural light year-round, with breathtaking views of one of the lake’s namesake islands—a feature unique to this property.
Designed by Lang & Raugland, and built in 1928, the home strikes a perfect balance: sophistication yet invitingly comfortable. Many original historical architectural details remain intact, with thoughtful updates including a gourmet kitchen and spacious, beautiful primary suite with huge custom closets and bathroom. The elevated stone terrace is perfect for morning coffee or evening entertaining.
A rare sense of privacy is created by being one of only a few homes without street parking in front. The home is nestled next to charming parkland with perennial gardens, offering a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. A private driveway off the Parkway accesses the 2-car attached garage.
The combination of its prime location, inspired design, and craftsmanship makes this not just a home, but a masterpiece—a timeless sanctuary that beckons to be cherished by its next fortunate steward.

Modern Design. Storied Setting. Exceptional Access. A David Charlez–Designed Residence, built by Swanson Homes.

In a secluded Minnetonka neighborhood, cradled by woodland, wetland, and a serene pond, a distinctive design–build opportunity awaits. This expansive 1.33-acre property—enhanced by more than $40,000 in professional design work, secured city approvals, and a CUP/variance for an accessory dwelling unit—includes a complete David Charlez concept plan, envisioned across all three levels to deliver approximately 4,098 finished square feet of modern Midwestern living, with flexibility to personalize selections.

Architecture & Builder Pedigree: David Charlez Designs, an award-winning architectural studio, is known for contextual architecture that embraces each site’s topography, views, and natural features. Swanson Homes, a boutique luxury builder with over 50 years of Twin Cities experience, is celebrated for design-forward execution, indoor–outdoor integration, and exceptional client collaboration. Together, they deliver a one-of-a-kind design–build experience marrying vision with craftsmanship.

Main Level: Anchored by a dramatic great room with statement fireplace and floor-to-ceiling glass, the main level flows into the chef’s kitchen—complete with 9’ center island, custom cabinetry, and premium appliances. The adjoining dining space opens to a covered deck overlooking the pond. A private guest/in-law suite features its own living area and kitchenette. The mud room, powder bath, and portico entry balance practicality with elegance. A full-length deck—part covered, part open—extends from the great room and connects to the lower-level patio via a sculptural spiral staircase.

Upper Level: The owner’s suite is a retreat—spa-inspired bath with dual bathrooms, oversized walk-in closets, and a shared glass shower—opening to a private sky-deck. One additional bedroom shares this level, along with an art loft perfect for creative work, study, or reading. The remaining space, originally envisioned as an open art loft, offers flexible potential as a landing for any purpose.

Walkout Lower Level (Finished): Designed for connection and recreation, the lower level offers a spacious family room, wet bar, media zone, fitness area, guest bedroom, and 3/4 bath—all with walkout access to the patio and wooded yard.

Design Intent & Finish Direction: Every sightline is intentional—floating staircase, seamless indoor–outdoor transitions, and curated materiality: warm woods, matte black fixtures, and soft stone tones. The result is a home that feels effortless—because it was designed to be.

Variance & ADU Approval: Comes with a recorded front yard setback variance and a Conditional Use Permit for a 610 sq ft accessory dwelling unit—approved by the City of Minnetonka and ready to build. The variance allows a site plan that fits the lot’s wooded setting, pond views, and walkout-friendly topography; the ADU enables a self-contained guest house, in-law suite, or studio.

The Setting: Privacy and proximity, in rare balance. Minutes to Ridgedale Center, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and future Southwest LRT access—yet worlds away in feel. Downtown Minneapolis is just 10 minutes via I-394. Served by Hopkins Schools and within reach of top private campuses—Breck, Blake, Benilde-St. Margaret’s, Providence Academy, and more. At 1.33 acres, it’s unusually expansive for this close to downtown—offering rare elbow room without sacrificing convenience.

Lake Minnetonka Lifestyle: Just to the west, Minnesota’s most celebrated lake calls. Wayzata’s Panoway, dockside dining, the Dakota Rail Trail, and year-round events are within easy reach—while your wooded haven remains a private retreat.

Permit-ready, fully customizable, and crafted by one of Minnesota’s most respected architect–builder teams—this is where legacy begins.
