Wayzata schools, lakeshore living, a private primary suite, no mandatory HOA, and easily $100,000 in updates—all for well under $1 million. Welcome home to your private “up north” retreat – perfectly nestled on the wooded shores of Hadley Lake in Plymouth, just 5 minutes from Lake Minnetonka and downtown Wayzata. This serene lakeside setting offers the best of both worlds: peaceful natural surroundings and quick access to city life, with a 23-minute commute to downtown Minneapolis (or just 18 minutes without traffic). Ideally located where Plymouth, Orono, and Wayzata meet, this home also lies within the top-ranked Wayzata School District, often rated #1 in Minnesota.
Set on over 120 feet of shoreline, this architecturally distinctive postmodern home was designed to frame the lake at every turn. Vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, and playful asymmetry allow natural light to pour through every room. The open-concept main level flows seamlessly between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, all anchored by natural hardwood floors and 2 wood-burning fireplaces that make hosting cozy year-round. A unique library loft offers an inspiring place to read, work, or relax.
The fully refreshed interior features new paint, new luxury-line carpeting, and a stunning updated kitchen with granite countertops, crisp white cabinetry, and high-end stainless steel appliances – including a professional-grade Dacor gas range. The home’s flexible layout provides six bedrooms and three bathrooms (three bedrooms and two baths upstairs; three bedrooms and one bath down), with one bedroom currently used as a laundry space that could easily be reclaimed. The primary suite includes dual closets and a private double sink ensuite bath. The walkout lower level includes a wet bar, spacious family room, and patio access for lakeside entertaining.
Easily $100,000 in updates have been invested over the past year to ensure lasting quality and comfort:
• Brand-new LP SmartSide board-and-batten siding with real cedar detailing, installed over all new sheathing (confirming excellent framing condition)
• New roof (2025)
• New gutters with leaf guards
• Refinished deck and dock with solar lighting and new landscaping paths
• Invisible fence installed for pets
• Garage freshly painted with new shelving and storage systems
• Extensive tree work, mulch, and planting upgrades
• Chimney and both fireplaces in good condition after professional inspection and minor mortar repair
• New washer and dryer
• New furnace and A/C (2020)
Step outside to enjoy your private natural oasis: a shaded upper deck, paver patio, and rebuilt dock that brings you right to the water’s edge. Hadley Lake is known for its excellent bass fishing and peaceful setting. Neighborhood-wide Oktoberfest, Fourth of July BBQs, and holiday gatherings bring the community together year after year.
Nature and recreation surround you in every direction. There is a city-maintained woodland trail through the neighborhood and at Ferndale Rd. N, there is a sidewalk that heads 2 blocks south to connect with the Luce Line Regional Trail for biking or walking adventures. Parker’s Lake Park, Orono Dog Park, and Woodrill Scientific & Natural Area are just minutes away, offering a farmers market, sandy beaches, tennis and basketball courts, and scenic wooded trails. Downtown Wayzata (only five minutes away) offers lakeside dining, shopping, and spa experiences.
With a strong sense of community, refined architectural character, and a long list of major updates, 830 Brockton Lane N is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey lakeside home that feels like a secluded getaway, yet sits at the heart of everything the western suburbs have to offer.
