A remarkable retreat in the heart of the Wayzata/Lake Minnetonka area, 18508 Ridgewood Road offers nearly an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, exceptional living flexibility and resort-inspired outdoor amenities. With approximately 6,500 finished square feet, six bedrooms and six baths, the home provides generous spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. Inside, the home's impressive scale is balanced by warm architectural character and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces. The open main level is anchored by a dramatic two-story great room with reclaimed-wood ceiling beams anchored by a gas fireplace, while the chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, a generous center island, walk-in pantry and a top-tier appliance package. A main-level primary suite with two walk-in closets provides a private retreat, while the finished walkout lower level adds substantial space for entertaining, recreation and everyday living. The upper level adds another dimension of flexibility with a distinctive private upper-level suite complete with a second kitchen and living spaces offering exceptional flexibility for guests, extended stays, a home office, or additional private living quarters. The re-imagined backyard is a true highlight, with an in-ground salt water pool, hot tub, and sauna all surrounded by mature trees, extensive landscaping and multiple outdoor gathering spaces. Expansive decks and patios, stone retaining walls, winding paths, a fire-pit terrace and curated gardens create a private, park-like setting designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Craftsman-inspired details, stone accents and a welcoming covered front porch add to the home's impressive presence. All of this is conveniently positioned near the dining, shopping, lakefront and amenities that define the Wayzata and Lake Minnetonka lifestyle.
