Mature trees and a quiet street off Galpin Boulevard. Wood Duck is close to Lake Minnewashta and still feels tucked away.
Wood Duck is on the north side of Chanhassen, off Galpin Boulevard just north of Lake Lucy Road. Homes are rambler and traditional styles on wooded lots.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
What’s close by
Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, with a swimming beach, fishing, picnic areas, a dog park and trails, is close. Curry Farms Park, Lake Ann Park, Greenwood Shores Park and downtown Chanhassen’s shops and groceries are nearby. See Chanhassen parks and trails and community amenities.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Wood Duck is served by Minnetonka Public Schools (ISD 276). Nearby schools include Minnewashta Elementary, Excelsior Elementary, Minnetonka Middle School West, Minnetonka High School and Chanhassen High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district.
- 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.
A simple plan for your Wood Duck move
I’ve been helping people sell and buy homes across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida for about two decades, and I build and remodel luxury homes too. I’ll help you see both what a property is and what it could be.
Getting the house ready, or making it yours
If you’re selling and want repairs handled before buyers see them, Super Crew Contractors can give you an estimate. If you’re ready for something custom, Ivy Lane Homes does luxury home building and remodeling. And a quick coverage check with Intrinsic Insurance before closing can save you a surprise.
