About 3966 Earlynn Lane
It’s easy to imagine falling in love with this home.
Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in Minnetonka, this well cared-for walkout rambler has the kind of setting that makes everyday life feel a little more special. There are three bedrooms on the main level, beautiful hardwood floors, ceramic baths, and two fireplaces that bring warmth and character to the home. The spacious lower-level family room walks out to the backyard and has been a wonderful place for family movie nights, gatherings, playtime, and simply enjoying being together. The heated garage is an especially welcome bonus during Minnesota winters. But the backyard is what really makes this home memorable. Set on .52 acres, the property backs up to acres of wetland and marshland, with no direct backyard neighbors. Instead, there are deer wandering through, birds to watch, and a peaceful natural backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons. The flat, grassy yard leaves plenty of room for a playset, yard games, gardening, or a summer gathering with friends. The hillside becomes its own kind of playground in the winter, with a perfect spot for sledding. The long, 2019 paved driveway and quiet cul-de-sac add even more room for bikes, play, and enjoy the freedom of being outside. It’s the kind of neighborhood where you can picture memories being made. And then there’s the trail. The neighborhood connects directly to the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail, making it easy to hop on a bike or head out for a walk and explore. Kids can bike to Minnetonka Middle School East for school and activities, while the trail also winds along Lake Minnetonka toward downtown Excelsior. From there, you can enjoy the shops, restaurants, events, and Commons — all without having to get in the car. Bennett Baseball Fields connect directly to the development, and Thorpe Park is also within biking distance. The location makes daily life easy, too. Groveland Elementary, Minnetonka Middle School East, and Minnetonka High School are all nearby, along with Lifetime Fitness, Target, Cub Foods, restaurants, and the communities of Excelsior and Wayzata. Groveland's Spanish immersion program is an especially appealing option for families, with open-enrollment opportunities often limited. For commuting, Hwy 101, Hwy 7, and Minnetonka Boulevard provide easy access to the 494 loop, so you can enjoy the privacy and space of a half-acre property without giving up convenience. This is more than a house with a great lot. It’s a place where kids can play outside, bikes can head down the trail, sleds can fly down the hill, deer can wander through the backyard, and family and friends can gather around the fireplace or out in the yard. A peaceful piece of Minnetonka with room to live, play, explore, and make memories — and a home that is ready for its next owner to love.
