Charming French Country home set in Wayzata’s coveted Bluff neighborhood, offering unmatched walkability just two blocks from Lake Minnetonka, Lake Street, the Panoway boardwalk, downtown shops and restaurants. Elevated on a corner lot, with mature trees and meticulously landscaped gardens, this architecturally significant home blends timeless elegance with modern comforts. Designed by architect Carl Gage and originally built in 1937, this award-winning residence, recognized with the City of Wayzata’s Best Historical Restoration Award in 2012, offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and an oversized two-car garage.
Step inside to find French-style paned windows, arched entryways, original plaster walls, cove molding, slate foyer, built-in window seats and storage cabinets, and gleaming hardwood floors. The remodeled kitchen offers heated porcelain tile flooring, Corian countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a gas cooktop, and stainless-steel appliances. The main level also includes a sunroom, formal dining, powder bath, living room with a gas fireplace, and a spacious family room addition.
Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and two beautifully renovated bathrooms, both with heated floors and period-style finishes. The lower level includes a home office, cedar closet, laundry, storage, and an oversized heated 2-car garage with epoxy flooring and floor drain.
Exterior highlights include a private New Orleans-inspired courtyard with iron details and copper fence sheathing, lush perennial gardens, irrigation with Smart Controller, dedicated drip lines, stamped concrete driveway, and backyard terrace with pergola, swing, and original 1937 garden shed.
A rare opportunity to own a truly special home in one of Wayzata’s most coveted locations.
