This is an amazing house in a quintessential American small-town village one half block from historic main street Excelsior and Lake Minnetonka. The front door opens to the multi-windowed, enclosed porch with whitewashed original, authentic, beaded ceiling board and a wood burning fireplace. The craftsman style home is a cozy and happy home filled with quirky older-home features such as a sunroom/sitting room that lights up with the morning sun, hardwood floors, built in cabinets and a clean, bright studio and hobby room. The private deck overlooks the large grassy backyard with towering pines and river birch. Don’t feel like cooking? Simply walk out the door and take your pick from at least twelve restaurants and taverns on historic Main Street. Be certain to put your name on the waiting list for a boat-slip in the marina just steps away from the house. There are trails and beaches and parks all close by. Highly regarded Excelsior Elementary school within walking distance.
