About 17145 9th Avenue N
Are you a unique buyer who seeks a home unlike any other? From the street, you would never expect the private botanical retreat that awaits inside. Located in the Wayzata School District on a beautifully landscaped half-acre-plus lot near the Luce Line Trail, this one-of-a-kind residence offers a rare combination of privacy, luxury, and unforgettable design. Created for those who appreciate nature, beauty, and spaces that inspire, this is an opportunity for gardeners, entertainers, plant lovers, and buyers seeking a home with true soul. The showpiece of the home is the extraordinary 30' x 24' four-season conservatory—an awe-inspiring space wrapped in Marvin windows and designed for year-round enjoyment. With radiant in-floor heat, full climate control, skylights, and a retractable front screen that opens the wall to the outdoors, this remarkable space delivers a true indoor-outdoor experience unlike anything else on the market. Whether used for year-round gardening, entertaining, cultivating large specimen plants, or simply enjoying a peaceful retreat surrounded by light and beauty, the conservatory is the heart of this unforgettable home. The vaulted primary suite is equally impressive, featuring glass to the ceiling, remote skylights, conservatory views, a private deck, and a marble European-style walk-in shower. This space could serve as an extraordinary office as there is a bedroom on the main floor with ensuite bathroom. The upper level primary bedroom is large enough to create a nursery, private office space, or whatever your creative mind decides. In the primary bedroom you also have a private lanai for relaxing or hiding out - maybe for an escape with a glass of wine. Throughout the home, thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship create an atmosphere that is both dramatic and comfortable. Outside, the grounds feel like a private retreat. A New York Bluestone patio, cedar deck with oversized screened enclosure, illuminated pathways, attractive powered garden shed, rain-garden pond, stream feature, and rare botanical plantings were all thoughtfully designed by the homeowner, a professional landscape architect. The result is a property that feels curated, peaceful, and completely unlike the ordinary setting that will especially resonate with buyers who love landscape design, gardening, and a deep connection to the outdoors.
With six bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, the layout offers exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, guest quarters, or a private nanny/in-law suite. Centrally located in the home, allowing for a central meeting area between generations, the updated kitchen is anchored by striking Costantino black granite from Argentina.
With over $300,000 invested in glass alone, and more than $200,000 in landscaping, this home has a replacement value well above $2 million. This is not simply a home, it is a rare opportunity to own something unique and truly special.
