Description
Step into a slice of pure Americana in the heart of Cottagewood. This 1940s cottage is the definition of charm, with quintessential curb appeal, classic shake siding, a welcoming front porch and sited on a 0.41 acre corner lot. Meticulously maintained and rich with character, the home offers a seamless main level layout that feels both cozy and surprisingly spacious.
At the heart of the home, a bright living room anchored by a gas fireplace and built-in cabinetry flows naturally into the dining area and kitchen. A versatile flex space, currently used as an office, adds everyday convenience with a discreet powder room and laundry. The oversized primary bedroom leaves ample room for a reading nook or a quiet secondary workspace, while a sunlit transition room between the living area and the garage opens directly to the back patio for more casual lounging.
Outside is where the property also shines. The generous lot offers a rare sense of space and includes a historic stone fireplace/grill element that lends a touch of local lore. Whether you are waving to neighbors passing by or tucked into the more secluded rear patio, the outdoor spaces are made for slow mornings with coffee and easy evenings unwinding.
The setting is second to none for anyone drawn to the lakeside lifestyle, just blocks from the LRT trail, tennis courts, sandy beaches, and the legendary Cottagewood General Store. Move right in and enjoy the vintage charm exactly as it is. And for those who see further, this expansive parcel quietly invites a future all its own and is perfectly suited for a "pop the top" concept.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has consistently proven to be racist, lazy, unsupportive, unhelpful, dishonest, and a whole group of other things. I had reported a teacher for bullying me, as she was, and the guidance counselor did nothing and didn't even offer any form of guidance or support. There have been frequent times when friends of mine, and other students have reported other students behavior and nothing gets done about it. The kids who are more intelligent often get offered an unfair amount of advantage and opportunities than students who are the AVERAGE level of intelligence. The overall community in this establishment is rather toxic and unsupportive. Many students have reported a teacher who has made students uncomfortable or unhappy and nothing gets done about it. This review might sound targeted or enraged due to a recent incident, but this is genuine and truthful. However the academic programs are rather spectacular. Unfortunately I just feel that there is some sort of lack in kindness at this school.Student Review11mo ago - Minnetonka Senior High School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHands down, the best public school. Yes, graduating classes are large, but the kids and the teachers know each other. Highly inclusive, there is a group for everyone at this school. Academics are unquestionably strong. Services and support are unparalleled. The resources at this school are amazing.Parent Review3y ago
