Description

Step back in time while enjoying modern comforts at 27055 Smithtown Road, a historic 1881 farmhouse perched atop a half-acre lot in Excelsior. Once part of the Dayton family’s original west Lake Minnetonka homestead—home to their Belgian horses—this home carries a rich local legacy and timeless character. Inside, you’ll find inviting spaces filled with warmth and charm, from the original hardwood floors in the owner’s suite to the cozy four-season or front porch overlooking the yard and wetlands....Step back in time while enjoying modern comforts at 27055 Smithtown Road, a historic 1881 farmhouse perched atop a half-acre lot in Excelsior. Once part of the Dayton family’s original west Lake Minnetonka homestead—home to their Belgian horses—this home carries a rich local legacy and timeless character. Inside, you’ll find inviting spaces filled with warmth and charm, from the original hardwood floors in the owner’s suite to the cozy four-season or front porch overlooking the yard and wetlands. Adding to the charm, a 180-square-foot heated and cooled studio—also known as the ‘schoolhouse'—sits just off the 32x22 garage. It’s an inspiring space for creative projects, a quiet home office, gym, or simply a place to unwind year-round. Large windows and thoughtful updates keep the home bright and livable, blending history with everyday comfort. Outdoors, the property shines with vibrant gardens, mature trees, and sweeping views. The front porch offers the perfect spot to watch sunsets, while the expansive yard is ideal for gatherings, gardening, or simply enjoying nature. With Lake Minnetonka just minutes away, you’re never far from boating, beaches, and all the area has to offer. This is more than a home—it’s a piece of Minnesota history, beautifully maintained and ready for its next chapter.
