FEATURES

DETAILS

Known as The Cozy Nook, this storied Lake Minnetonka residence offers a rare blend of architectural character, privacy, and exceptional west-facing shoreline. Set on 1.3 acres with 173 feet of lakeshore in Wayzata's coveted Woodland neighborhood, the Cape Cod-inspired home is surrounded by mature trees while capturing panoramic lake views and spectacular sunsets. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, whitewashed detailing, stained-glass accents, and expansive walls of windows fill the home with warmth and natural light. The open main living spaces flow effortlessly from the living room to the informal dining area, kitchen, and inviting three-season porch, all thoughtfully oriented toward the water. The kitchen combines handcrafted Mexican tile, premium appliances, generous workspace, and a large center island designed for everyday living and entertaining. Multiple fireplaces, a dedicated office overlooking the lake, a flexible studio, and a beautifully appointed primary suite with elevated lake views create exceptional spaces throughout. The walkout lower level offers expansive gathering areas, a second full kitchen, office, bunk room, and flexible accommodations ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Outside, expansive decks, a pergola-covered patio, generous lawn, and private dock complete this extraordinary Lake Minnetonka lifestyle just moments from downtown Wayzata.
