This move-in-ready home is fresh, light-filled, and designed with an open, flowing floor plan that embraces its glorious setting. The property borders both the park and the creek, offering serene, protected views across the water. A gracious, oversized foyer welcomes you with a sweeping staircase and opens to a handsome mahogany library and grand formal rooms framed by bayed windowscapes. Sunshine and views pour into every corner. The remodeled white Shaker-style kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, Café appliances, subtly veined quartz, and a center island with seating and storage. From here, the home unfolds into the signature creek room—an extraordinary space wrapped in walls of glass and anchored by an imposing Tulikivi soapstone culinary fireplace. Custom built-ins for bar and media complete the room, which, along with the kitchen, opens seamlessly to the outdoor living areas. The outdoor environment is a true extension of the home: a stone veranda with a full outdoor cooking center, spa tub, and rock fire feature. The expansive rear lawn—nearly the size of many full lots—is bordered by perennial gardens, parkland, woods, and the creek. A charming waterside gathering spot with a “marshmallow” fire nook sits beside a delightful garden cottage, perfect for tea parties, picnics, or imaginative play. South and west exposures bathe the property in all-day sun, ideal for lawn games and outdoor living. Seasonally, the landscape transforms—from lush parkland and wildflowers to a winter tableau reminiscent of a Currier & Ives painting. Just steps away are the neighborhood skating rink, warming house, and hockey rink, enhancing the sense of community and year-round recreation. Despite its natural serenity, the home is only a short stroll from downtown Edina and the vibrant 50th & France district. Available solely due to relocation, this is truly a once-in-a-generation offering in one of Edina’s most cherished settings. Additional details are available in supplements. Enjoy.
