A landmark-level Wayzata residence where timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and effortless livability come together to define luxury living. This is the home you've been waiting for. Nestled on a quiet street just three blocks from the shores of Lake Minnetonka, this stunning cottage-inspired two-story offers the rare opportunity to enjoy walkable access to downtown Wayzata's renowned restaurants, boutiques, and lakefront while retreating to the privacy and comfort of an extraordinary home. Designed to maximize natural light, expansive windows and thoughtfully planned living spaces create a bright, inviting atmosphere throughout. Newly refinished hardwood floors span the main and upper levels, complementing crisp architectural details and an elegant blend of natural textures. Offering 4,882 finished square feet, including a newly completed 1,350-square-foot lower level, the home features four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a spacious three-car garage. The welcoming foyer is flanked by a picturesque formal dining room and a sophisticated study featuring French doors that open to the charming front porch. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is beautifully appointed with a large quartz center island, abundant custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a dedicated prep and support area. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and oversized great room, where a gas fireplace and custom built-ins create a warm gathering place for everyday living and entertaining. A pocket office, mudroom, powder bath, and direct access to the attached three-car garage complete the main level. Upstairs, the private owner's retreat offers a luxurious ensuite bath with a soaking tub, oversized shower, and an adjoining bonus room perfect for a sitting area, office, or private retreat. A junior suite with its own three-quarter bath, two additional bedroom connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a conveniently located laundry room complete the upper level. Exceptional storage has been thoughtfully incorporated throughout every floor of the home. The newly finished lower level expands the home's entertainment possibilities with dramatic gathering spaces, a fitness area, and flexible recreation rooms designed for hosting family and friends. With nearly 4,900 finished square feet, a coveted three-car garage, glimpses of downtown Wayzata and Lake Minnetonka, and an unbeatable location just a short walk to the area's vibrant lakefront, this exceptional residence offers the perfect balance of sophisticated design, everyday comfort, and one of Minnesota's most desirable lifestyles.
