Experience a timeless classic in this exquisitely remodeled home by Landschute. Paying homage to its original 1956 design by Ralph Rapson, this historic lakeside residence has been transformed into a masterpiece, offering all the contemporary comforts while preserving its classic charm. The home underwent a major renovation in 2013, with further updates to the lower level in 2016, and a brand-new roof added in December 2024.
Step inside to discover exquisite detailing throughout, complemented by breathtaking panoramic lake views. The property boasts an idyllic two story boat house and a charming paver patio, ideal for enjoying a cozy fire pit by the water's edge. With 60 feet of lakeshore, this home offers a serene lakeside lifestyle with incredible north westerly sunset views across the main Lower Lake and the Minnetonka Yacht Club. Enjoy an open vaulted great room, main level primary suite, a flex-use open loft up above, two junior bedrooms down and a family room with continued lake views!
Located in the heart of Cottagewood, you'll find yourself just steps away from the LRT trail, tennis courts, beaches, parks, and the beloved Cottagewood General Store. This residence embodies the quintessential Americana lifestyle within a unique lakeside setting, while still being only minutes away from downtown of Excelsior and Wayzata by boat, bike or car!
