Forty-six townhomes off Minnetonka Boulevard, minutes from Excelsior. Amesbury West trades yard work for time on the lake.
Amesbury West is a townhome community on the northeast side of Shorewood, off Minnetonka Boulevard west of Vine Hill Road, with about 46 units.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Downtown Excelsior, Excelsior Commons with its two swimming beaches, tennis courts and bandshell, Paradise Charter Cruises, the Old Log Theatre and Badger Park are all close. See Shorewood parks, trails and beaches and community life.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Amesbury West is served by Minnetonka Public Schools (ISD 276). Nearby schools include Deephaven Elementary, Clear Springs Elementary, Excelsior Elementary, Scenic Heights Elementary and Minnetonka High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- Association: Ask for the association documents, current dues, what they cover, the reserve fund and any planned assessments. A good townhome is also a good association.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.
