Lakefront Living
This waterfront Chaska gem offers comfortable elegance
Built with a large family in mind, Denali Custom Homes created this open-concept-design lakefront property with an emphasis on comfortable yet stylish living—and keeping tabs on the kids. Situated on 150 feet of shoreline on Chaska’s Lake Bavaria, this 6,400 square-foot, five-bedroom, seven-bath home offers privacy as well as beautiful views.
On the main floor, dark hardwood floors link the living room’s seating area around the fireplace, the chef-sized kitchen with its walk-in pantry, and the dining area that overlooks a pretty covered deck. An adjacent office affords more views of the lake and a calm environment in which to focus.
The warm dark wood floors continue to the second-level hallway, which leads to the master bedroom. Large windows in the sleeping quarters and adjoining bath provide even more lovely lake vistas. A stone floor in the shower echoes the lake’s natural style.
A unique multicolored stone wall lends texture and pattern to the otherwise sleek lower level, which includes billiard, exercise, and family rooms, as well as a lounge, wine cellar, and bar.
New technology makes the home’s scale more manageable: an iPad in the wall near the front entry and living room is linked to a camera mounted on the dock, enabling homeowners a waterfront view to see weather conditions or check on a boat party. Now that’s modern lake living!
- A transitional stone fireplace on the main floor sets a rustic yet contemporary tone.
- Wood and stone elements make the spacious lower level lounge, billiard area, exercise space, and family room feel cozy.
- The subtle wood grain of the pale, knotty alder built-in cabinetry lends texture and warmth to the kitchen’s neat, clean lines.
- A massive stone fireplace serves as the focal point for the home’s large outdoor patio, which is perfect for breezy entertaining.
- This bath’s soothing, organic decor creates a space as relaxing as the home’s lakeside surroundings.

The wall behind the bed’s headboard repeats the rich chocolate color of the home’s dark wood floors.
