Lake Minnetonka living without the lakeshore price tag. This 1920s Craftsman charmer sits steps from Crystal Bay with the Dakota Rail Regional Trail right outside your back gate—bike to downtown Wayzata, walk to Lord Fletcher's, or drop a line at Coffee Cove. Inside, original character is everywhere: leaded diamond-pane windows, unpainted woodwork, a built-in buffet with mirrored back, and gleaming hardwood floors throughout. The sun-filled front porch welcomes you into an open living and dining room anchored by a gas fireplace. The kitchen delivers with soapstone countertops, stainless appliances, center island, and a bright breakfast nook. Upstairs, the primary suite features a fully renovated spa bath with soaking tub, separate shower, and marble finishes, plus a second full bath with classic clawfoot tub. The big-ticket items are done: new roof, two new furnaces, central AC added upstairs, new water heater, new washer/dryer, and a permitted, engineered floor stabilization system—all within the last five years. Outside, enjoy a fenced yard, firepit, patio with string-light posts, and a detached 2-car garage with room for boat storage alongside. Turn-key charm in one of Lake Minnetonka's most walkable pockets.
