About This Home
Architect-designed. Tree-canopied. Two minutes from a perfect flat white.Tucked quietly off Bushaway Road under a canopy of oaks and pines, this 1912 Prairie School carriage house, designed by William Gray Purcell and George Grant Elmslie, offers something rare in rental living: a little piece of architectural history—with stainless appliances.Originally part of the Edward Decker estate, the carriage house once accompanied a striking Prairie-style lake home designed by the same architects—one of the earliest and most refined of its kind on Lake Minnetonka. Decker, a prominent Minneapolis banker and president of Northwestern National Bank, lived here with his wife Suzy and their five children. The family belonged to the Minneapolis Club, the Minikahda Club, and the Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts, and their summer residence reflected the grace of that era.While the main house was removed in the 1950s, it made way for something equally bold: a French château-style home, custom-built around two imported 18th-century Parisian interiors. Designed with exacting detail, the château remains a landmark in its own right—but the original carriage house endures, quietly preserving the craftsmanship and spirit of the Decker era.Inside, the historic carriage house features two bedrooms and one full bath, beautifully accented by a mix of original hardwood and classic tile floors. The kitchen is bright and functional, with stainless steel appliances, generous cabinet space, and just enough counter for both cooking and conversation. The living and dining areas feel cozy yet open, framed by tall windows that bring in the soft glow of filtered woodland light. In-unit laundry is discreetly tucked into its own private room—because no one wants to trek to a basement or fiddle with quarters. Original millwork and thoughtful details throughout lend a sense of craft and calm.Step outside and you’re just minutes from downtown Wayzata, Lake Minnetonka’s shops, restaurants, beach, and marina. Walk the trails. Sip something good on the patio at COV. Or just stay in and listen to the trees. This is a place for people who appreciate beauty, but don’t need to announce it.Available month-to-month, the carriage house offers flexible living in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Minnesota.Limit two cats or one dog (10 lbs. or less, sorry Biggie Smalls).Private showings available by appointment. Available now. Month-to-month or longer-term lease options available. Serious inquiries only—please note this home is available for immediate occupancy and will not be held for late-summer move-ins.
