A VERY RARE FIND IN A PREMIER LOCATION ! Home PLUS Cottage near the shore of Lake Harriet & a short distance from Lake Calhoun. Great for in-laws or multi-generations. Splendid blend of 1925 Arts & Crafts detailing with new construction. The charm is combined with all the modern conveniences; stunning kitchen/family room, exquisite master suite, 2nd floor laundry & large deck. Half of the home was re-built in 2006 from the foundation up with 2x6 walls, increased energy efficiency, new plumbing, 200 amp electrical, central air, mechanical, central vacuum, media panel, and state-of-the art radiators that warm your feet and the floor in all the essential spaces. Seamless blend of woodwork between the old & new—oak built-ins in the dining room; & flanking the fireplace in the living room; bold crown mounding throughout; exquisite cherry cabinetry and cherry flooring in the kitchen and family room; maple and cherry trim, built-ins and floors throughout the upstairs bedrooms and baths—all with detailing inspired by and consistent with the era. Highlighting this fine blend of woods is the masterful mix of striking granites and fanciful marbles, rich in detail. The versatile floor plan allows for either open, flowing entertaining; or private intimate settings, w/ the use of strategically placed glass French doors, and solid oak pocket doors, which also maximize the efficiency of the 5-zone heating system. The abundant windows and glass doors provide spaces bathed in natural light. The master bedroom has a commanding view from the balcony—with ornate iron rail—and a cozy window seat, both of which overlook the park and have seasonal lake views through a forest of mature trees. Summer entertaining on a private deck is a delight as the music from the Pavilion fills the air. The historic trolley with the click-clack sound as it rumbles along the back woods will bring visions of an era gone by. The lower level walk-out with its many windows has been redone creating brightly-lit spaces for a mix of family entertainment & game rooms, including a convenient redone bath. Rough-in for kitchen and shower. Ample parking with the tuck-under garage and car port (w/membrane under the deck) can easily be converted to expand the enclosed garage. There are also additional off-street parking spaces. An incredible bonus is the enchanting cottage in a delightful north-woods-like setting with a walkout basement. It’s versatility as a guest house, studio, office, in-law unit, shop or rental is an added plus. Owner/Agent
