Property Description
High on the hill where Rice Street meets Broadway, Wayzata’s first classrooms once stood. The site evolved from simple schoolhouses to a distinctive Pueblo Revival building in 1921, remembered by generations as both Wayzata Consolidated High School and later Widsten Elementary. By the late 1980s, the school’s era ended, and the property was transformed into something new: townhomes overlooking Wayzata Bay. What began as a center for education is now one of the city’s most desirable residential enclaves. Today, these homes carry the legacy of the hill. The same sweeping views of the bay that once inspired students now define a lifestyle at the very top of Wayzata—private, elevated, and deeply connected to the town’s history. Wake up on the hill above downtown Wayzata with Lake Minnetonka framed right outside your windows. This is the sweet spot of Widsten Circle. Steps to coffee, restaurants, and the lake. Back home you get a warm, cedar-shake exterior, a covered front porch, and a floor plan that lives easy on two levels with big views and real privacy. Inside, light pours through bay windows across Saddle Black Walnut floors. The kitchen brings maple cabinetry fitted with roll-outs, workstation, full-height pantry, and a center island. The dining room connects cleanly to the living room where a gas fireplace with cultured stone and a reclaimed wood mantel anchors the space. Built-ins in rustic alder handle your media and display. A rounded bay takes in panoramic lake views and a full-glass door walks out to the screened porch and the wraparound balcony in the treetops. The primary suite sits quietly on the main level with vaulted ceilings, patio door to the porch, and a walk-in closet with custom organizers. The primary bath has room to exhale with a jetted tub on a tile deck, an oversized glass shower with bench, dual sinks, makeup counter, and linen storage. Main-level office with French doors and a bay window for focus. Main-level laundry with cabinets and sink. A proper half bath for guests. Downstairs, the lake views keep going. The family room is wide open for movie nights and game days with patio access to the lower terrace and shared green space. Bedroom two has water views and a walk-in. Bedroom three has French doors and a walk-in. There is a full bath, a flex room with a second kitchen for long-term guests or hobby time, and great storage. Outside, the lifestyle is ready to go. Maintenance-free wraparound balcony up top. Covered patio below. Beautiful mature trees, boulder walls, and a shared patio scene with a stone-wrapped wood-burning fireplace, pergolas, and garden beds. Finished and heated two-car garage with floor drain. Paver driveway. Cedar shake with brick accents for timeless curb appeal. This is the Wayzata walk-to-everything address that still feels like a retreat.
