Description
Luxury Brownstone in the heart of Wayzata. Inside, the incredible finishes and materials set a tone of luxury that carries throughout every room.
Custom woodwork, designer carpeting, and rich, full-slab onyx marble finishes define the interiors. The kitchen is a showpiece, featuring a dramatic backlit onyx worktop, while the powder room stuns with illuminated onyx walls. Every bathroom is fully clad in stone, with the upstairs bath offering underfloor heating for added comfort.
A solid brass staircase railing with tailored runners and stair rods serves as a striking focal point on the open-concept main level. Backlit tray ceilings above the piano in the main lounge add architectural drama, complementing the multiple fireplaces and elegant design.
Offering uninterrupted, year-round views of Lake Minnetonka from the rooftop, this home is a rare offering in both design and location.
The expansive primary suite includes a gas fireplace, spa-style walk-through bath with soaking tub, and dual walk-in closets. A flexible lower level functions perfectly as a media room or guest suite, and a rooftop deck delivers sweeping lake views—ideal for entertaining or private relaxation.
Additional features include a three-story elevator, radiant in-floor heating, and easy walkability to Wayzata’s acclaimed lakefront, dining, and shopping destinations.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have sent four children through West Middle School with a fifth one gearing up for sixth grade next year and we couldn't be happier. Two of our kids were on an IEP and one on a 504 Plan which we felt completely supported in and the staff have all been amazing and getting the kids the help that they need. There has not been one teacher that the kids have had that we haven't absolutely loved and the school gives off a strong community feel, which is a beautiful thing. My kids have all had strong friendships there with classmates, teachers, and done with administration, and the diversity of children my kids have befriended has been surprisingly plentiful. There are a lot of great kids at the school, the staff have been extremely supportive and helpful to my children's education, and as a parent with children of various needs, I feel heard and respected. Be BOLD, Be WEST!Parent Review2y ago - Wayzata High School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWayzata has been the best experience I could ever ask for from a school district. Our daughter started in the district Kindergarten and is now in 9th grade. We couldn't be more pleased with how this district handled both sports and academics through the pandemic and how they made sure our students were successful and safe throughout their shift into high school.Parent Review3y ago - Gleason Lake Elementary School
