A Classic Charmer in the Heart of Cottagewood!
Step into the timeless character and warmth of this gracious 1920 Cottagewood home, where original charm meets thoughtful updates and playful, modern design. Every room has its own personality, with beautiful built-ins, unique finishes, and special details that make this home feel both inviting and distinctly its own.
A thoughtful interior remodel opened the walls and created an easy, flexible flow designed to evolve with the way you live. The front dining room has served beautifully as a living room, the kitchen comfortably accommodates a large dining table, and the current living room can easily become a formal dining space. Each room offers possibilities, allowing the home to adapt effortlessly to family life, entertaining, and everything in between.
The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, creating a private sanctuary to relax and unwind. The addition of a three-car garage brings everyday functionality, along with a lower-level flex space ready for whatever life calls for—a home gym, kids’ playroom, hobby space, or storage for all the extra toys.
Location, location! Just one block from Lake Minnetonka, the beloved Cottagewood Store, tennis courts, and park. This is the Cottagewood lifestyle at its best, where summer evenings, neighborhood strolls, lake days, and community are right outside your door. All in the award-winning Minnetonka School District, with highly regarded Deephaven Elementary.
