Nestled on the shores of historic Christmas Lake, this property foot print was a cottage of the Radisson Hotel that burned down in 1936. The Hotel and the satellite cottages were purchased and built in the early 20’s. This home is a true piece of Minnesota history. After purchasing in 1955, this property has been transformed into a stunning three-story residence inspired by the timeless designs of Frank Lloyd Wright. While the home retains its original charm, it offers expansive living spaces, variety of built-in storage areas, recessed lighting, high perspective lake views, and unique architectural details that make it stand out as a centerpiece of the neighborhood. The home’s spacious main level boasts an open-concept design with a dramatic living area centered around a statement fireplace, where walls of windows frame breathtaking views of the lake. The primary suite is designed for comfort and convenience, featuring his-and-her built-in closets that add both functionality and elegant. Downstairs, the walkout level is an entertainer’s dream, complete with a full bar and a patio overlooking the water—perfect for family dinners, celebrations, or simply enjoying the peaceful lakeside atmosphere. Additional spaces like a workshop and basement cellar offer versatility for hobbies and storage, making this home as practical as it is beautiful. The historic charm and unique setting ensure this property is more than just a house, it’s a lifestyle. Situated near top-rated Minnetonka schools, and close to local dining, shopping, and all the conveniences of the Minneapolis suburbs, this property combines convenience with a serene retreat-like atmosphere. Spring-fed Christmas Lake has long been known for its pristine clarity and quiet, safe boating waters. The lake offers an “up north” experience less than 30 minutes to downtown, the airport and all major medical clinics/hospitals. The gently sloping lot ends with a deck overlooking deep water, hard sandy lakeshore, some of the best in all of Christmas Lake. Enjoy swimming, water skiing and fishing right off your dock. The location is superb with gorgeous southeast views of historic Ridge Road and walking distance to downtown Excelsior and the many restaurants, trails and shopping. Whether you are looking for a rare opportunity to preserve and enhance an architectural gem steeped in history or looking for a truly one-of-kind location to build a new residence, this property presents the best of both opportunities. And whether you choose to restore its unique character or bring your creative vision to life, this property offers unmatched potential. Don’t miss the chance to own a property with this level of charm, history, and potential in such a prestigious location.
