A 1964 house on Bracketts Point Road and a 2024 build in Wayzata Heights took the top two spots among five reported home sales in the Minneapolis, Minnesota metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026. Both are in Wayzata, and the five closings combined for $24.22 million.
Two of the week’s properties carry water frontage: 220 feet of Lake Minnetonka shoreline in Wayzata Heights and private sandy beach on the St. Croix River in Hudson, Wisconsin, the only closing in the group outside Minnesota. Long Lake and Prior Lake account for the remaining two, and three of the houses were completed in 2020 or later.

The property previously changed hands for $5,100,000 in 2017. Detailed listing remarks were not available, so this account rests on the transaction record and the reported property facts.
Ellen D DeHaven and Jennifer Peterson of Coldwell Banker Realty were the listing agents. The $6,800,000 closing put them on the listing side of the highest-priced reported sale in the Minneapolis metro area for the week, one of two Coldwell Banker Realty listings in the top five.

Crestron automation controls interior and exterior lighting, shades, audio-visual systems, radiant heating, climate control and irrigation, backed by a security system and two whole-house Generac generators. The heated and air-conditioned four-car garage includes a dog wash, kennel and dog run, and an office and den opens off the breezeway leading to the primary suite, where south-facing windows carry the light. Outside, the fenced and landscaped grounds hold a UV-light pool, a saltwater hot tub, a poolside changing room with shower and lockers and a gas fire pit, while a four-season porch adds an integrated grill, fireplace and infrared heaters, with dry storage beneath it. The property previously changed hands for $459,900 in 2021, before the current residence was completed in 2022.
