Stunning new construction in the heart of The Avenues! Timeless design meets unparalleled craftsmanship. Upon arrival, you’re immediately greeted by a sprawling front porch overlooking one of the most premier blocks on The Avenues. Stately double doors welcome you to a grand foyer featuring custom wood ceilings. The foyer is flanked by the sun drenched main floor office and a dedicated dining room complete with a walk-through butler’s pantry, providing optimal storage and entertaining options. A beautiful archway leads you into the open concept kitchen/living room with a cozy gas fireplace dressed in custom plaster detail. The kitchen is a true showpiece, where thoughtful design blends seamlessly with everyday functionality; perfectly balanced between bold and timeless. The deep, rich cabinetry is beautifully contrasted by warm wood accents creating a space that feels both sophisticated and inviting. The oversized island anchors the room, offering abundant prep space, seating for casual dining, and a natural gathering space for entertaining. Sleek quartz countertops and high-end stainless steel appliances elevate the aesthetic, while layered lighting adds warmth and dimension throughout. A spacious mudroom creates a seamless transition from the outdoors, offering convenient storage and a coveted “drop zone”. Upstairs, the private living quarters include an expansive primary suite with a spa-like bathroom and generous storage, as well as three additional upper level bedrooms. The sought-after layout includes FOUR upper level bedrooms + upper level laundry. The lower level boasts a vast rec room, perfect for hosting large groups or movie nights. A 5th bedroom, 3/4 bath, and an exercise/flex space round out the basement. Oversized windows flood the home with natural light, illuminating the designer touches throughout. Oversized 2-stall garage. Award winning ISD 270! Unmatched walkability. A short stroll to Mainstreet puts you smack dab in the Downtown Hopkins mix. Amenities include access to the library, theater, local grocery store, shoppes, restaurants, multiple breweries, ice cream shops, entertainment, numerous parks, and Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail. Hop on the trail east into Minneapolis or West into Excelsior! In many ways, 330 11th is an anomaly for The Avenues. You truly won’t find another home like it!
