HISTORIC LAKEVIEW POOL HOME with GUEST HOUSE! Nestled hillside with panoramic views of Lake Minnehaha, this 1925 Mediterranean Revival home is art in its truest form. This early 20th century architectural style was used by developers to promote luxury, influenced by coastal villas and palaces in both Italy and Spain. Beautifully constructed with wood lathe and plaster walls and a barrel tile roof, built to stand the test of time. In contrast, this residence added Craftsman elements to include wide tapered columns, large eaves, sash windows and a centrally located Chicago brick fireplace. Richly stained original heart pine floors and hand crafted millwork give this home an organic coziness to savor! The authenticity is priceless, evoking a sense of belonging & leisure with an emphasis on indoor outdoor living. This tropical oasis has been compared to retreats in Costa Rica, Hawaii & even Disney! The grounds are abundant with flowering plants and trees including plumeria, hibiscus, purple iris, angel trumpets, bird of paradise and bougainvillea. Enjoy picking mango, starfruit & bananas in your PJ’s! The backyard also has a flagstone fire pit with bistro lights, screen room with water feature and carriage house that has been used as an open air game room! The 2nd story guest house is a mini version of the main with a front & rear entrance. A large covered balcony with BBQ grill and tiered deck overlooks the terrain. Inside you’ll find the cutest 1 bedroom, 1 bath with a full kitchen living room & laundry. Real wood “birch” floors in a weathered gray gives the space a transitional vibe with the nostalgic style. The main house back porch wraps around with bamboo ceilings and its Summer kitchen can be customized upon request. A dreamy setting for your morning coffee as you're mesmerized by the palms dancing in the wind and the sound of fountains flowing into the quaint lagoon pool. The front entry porch is another great area to hang out with original encaustic tile, pitched tongue and groove ceiling and antique wrought iron chandelier! The view is amazing! Upstairs, the primary suite has a private covered balcony with the best view in town! Enjoy vivid sunsets, storms rolling across the lake and the most spectacular unobstructed starry nights! Every season brings its own unique beauty & experience. 4th of July you can see the fireworks around the entire lake and surrounding areas! Christmas brings the boat parade with Santa and a fun light show! The main residence is your quintessential craftsman with 3 bedrooms 2 baths, a rear kitchen and laundry, oversized dining and family room and everyone’s favorite the sunroom! The home also has a basement AND an attic with a nice wide staircase! The feeling of this home is indescribable, I know because I lived here for 7 years! My hometown street. It has always been beautiful, always quiet, always HOME.
