Discover this extraordinary residence tucked at the end of a private cul-de-sac in the coveted French Creek neighborhood. Set on 1.64-acres of manicured grounds, the property offers exceptional privacy and wooded views. This home blends timeless European elegance with modern comfort, craftsmanship, and exquisite taste.
The main level was extensively remodeled in two phases (2019 and 2021) by Carrigan Curtis Design & Build. Every selection was made with thoughtful intention, resulting in a refined, cohesive aesthetic throughout.
Sun-filled spaces flow seamlessly, enhanced by white oak hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, archways, and a peaceful, sophisticated palette. The living room is crowned by a dramatic custom Palladian window-one of the home’s signature features - framing sweeping views of the wooded acreage. The stunning designer kitchen is a showpiece, highlights including custom enameled cabinetry, a 42” La Cornue range with patina brass
accents, Sub-Zero refrigerator, beverage center, and a sunny garden window above the sink. The adjacent breakfast room and generous dining room welcome both intimate meals and larger gatherings. A vaulted family room with new windows and custom built-ins opens to the charming three-season porch and upper deck overlooking the pool. The main-level primary suite is a calming retreat with corner windows and a spectacular marble-clad bathroom offering dual vanities, a soaking tub, walk-in shower with repeating arch detail, and a spacious custom closet. Thoughtfully designed storage is abundant, including a large mudroom with custom lockers and a multifunctional laundry room. Upstairs are three bright bedrooms - each with southern views - and a full bath with dual vanities and excellent storage. The walkout lower level offers two additional bedrooms, a bathroom with sauna and towel room, expansive storage options, and access to the beautifully landscaped pool area surrounded by hydrangeas and peaceful nature views. French Creek is an intimate, private community of just seventeen homes with acres of preserved woodlands, two tennis courts (one lined for pickleball), and a reservable gazebo with fireplace. The roof was recently replaced. Driveway, mechanicals, appliances, and septic are all newer. Ideally located minutes from downtown Wayzata, marinas, the Lafayette, Woodhill, and Wayzata Country Clubs, and miles of nearby trails. Served by top-rated Orono Schools, this is a rare opportunity for refined main-level living in an unmatched setting.
