Overview

Description

Nestled on a quiet street in the heart of Cottagewood, just steps from Lake Minnetonka and Sandy Beach, this Landschute built residence weaves tradition, character, and modern amenities into a timeless home. Every detail speaks to quality and heritage, from hardwood floors that flow across the main level to high ceilings and expansive windows that fill the interiors with natural light. The well-equipped Kitchen is the cornerstone of the open floor plan featuring professional appliances from Wolf and KitchenAid, marble countertops, handcrafted cabinetry including a furniture-style island, and refined lighting. The Dining Room’s built-in cabinetry evokes vintage charm, while the Family Room and Screened Porch offer inviting spaces for lively gatherings or peaceful evenings. The Flex Room, featuring rich wood built-ins and a wet bar, effortlessly serving as a sophisticated Home Office or a stylish Bar and Tasting Room, while the TV Room provides a comfortable space for relaxation. Upstairs, the vaulted Primary Suite enjoys a private balcony with long lake views, and a luxurious bath with custom cabinetry, a classic clawfoot tub, and a walk-in closet with extensive built-ins. Three additional bedrooms, a 3/4 bath, and a convenient Laundry Room complete the upper level. Escape to the tranquil Deck where privacy meets comfort — perfect for lazy summer days, reading in the shade, or sharing drinks with friends. Newly built, the Carriage House enhances the property with an additional 460 finished square feet of exceptional bonus space including two spaces to be used as you’d like – a family room, office, hobby room - and a rooftop Deck. City ordinances allow for plumbing to be added to the building a future bed/bathroom – the perfect guest suite! Every corner of this home reflects a rare balance of storybook charm, enduring tradition, and modern amenities. Perfectly positioned for lake life, enjoy leisurely strolls to the Cottagewood Store for a sweet treat, bike along the picturesque Lake Minnetonka LRT Trail into the Village of Excelsior, or embrace lake life with sailing adventures at the iconic Minnetonka Yacht Club.
