Offered for the first time, this beautiful, architecturally designed Craftsman-style rambler is set on a wooded 1.16-acre cul-de-sac lot with west-facing treetop views in the highly sought-after Wayzata School District. Built in 2014, the home was thoughtfully designed for effortless main-level living, with expansive windows that invite natural light and highlight exquisite woodwork throughout. Serving as the heart of the home, the kitchen is both elegant and highly functional, featuring custom quartersawn oak cabinetry, granite countertops, professional-grade appliances, a cozy built-in breakfast nook, and generous island seating for gatherings. The formal dining area showcases a vaulted dormer, custom buffet, and French doors to the east-facing front porch - perfect for coffee on those favorable mornings! The inviting vaulted great room is anchored by a striking fireplace and custom built-ins, while the sunroom area features a charming wood-burning stove and sweeping 180-degree woodland views. A butler’s pantry with bar sink provides a seamless & practical connection to the mudroom. The spacious primary suite is a private sanctuary, complete with a spa-inspired bath, custom-designed walk-in closet, conveniently located dedicated laundry room, and direct access to the screened porch - perfect for quietly enjoying the surrounding natural beauty. A second main-level bedroom or office with its own deck adds flexibility. The finished walkout lower level, enhanced with in-floor heat, expands the home’s livability with a large, inviting family room featuring a raised hearth stone fireplace & a wet bar kitchenette, and a dedicated theater room – all ideal for entertaining. This level also includes two bedrooms connected with a Jack-and-Jill full bath, an additional bedroom or office, and a convenient half bath. The finished workshop offers a highly functional and productive space for hobbies & creative pursuits. Above the garage, an unfinished bonus space with dormers and rough-in bath provides exceptional potential - perfectly suited for a private guest or junior suite, inspiring studio, or thoughtfully designed living space tailored to your needs. The low-maintenance exterior is equally impressive, featuring a 7-zone irrigation and drip system that supports lush, well-established perennial landscaping, invisible pet fencing, and a hydronic snowmelt system that ensures the driveway, front steps, and welcoming front porch remain easily accessible year-round. This exceptional home is ideally located just 2.5 miles from downtown Wayzata, near Lake Minnetonka, and a short jaunt to a vibrant array of dining/retail options. With easy access to Hwys 394 & 494 for a smooth commute to downtown Minneapolis, you’ll love the vibrant city & diverse cultural attractions that it’s known for.
