Overview

Description

One of the Lakes’ most stunning landmark homes, 2308 West Lake of the Isles Parkway, stands as an epitome of purposeful and thoughtful design. This extraordinary 5-bedroom, 3 ½ bath home, available for only the fourth time in a century, is uniquely situated on the lake with a commanding presence. With its southern exposure, every room is bathed in natural light year-round, with breathtaking views of one of the lake’s namesake islands—a feature unique to this property. Designed by Lang & Raugland, and built in 1928, the home strikes a perfect balance: sophistication yet invitingly comfortable. Many original historical architectural details remain intact, with thoughtful updates including a gourmet kitchen and spacious, beautiful primary suite with huge custom closets and bathroom. The elevated stone terrace is perfect for morning coffee or evening entertaining. A rare sense of privacy is created by being one of only a few homes without street parking in front. The home is nestled next to charming parkland with perennial gardens, offering a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. A private driveway off the Parkway accesses the 2-car attached garage. The combination of its prime location, inspired design, and craftsmanship makes this not just a home, but a masterpiece—a timeless sanctuary that beckons to be cherished by its next fortunate steward.
