Tucked under a canopy of trees along one of Wayzata’s most storied corridors, a hidden gem awaits at 250 Bushaway Road #C—a Prairie School-style carriage house available now as a rare month-to-month rental. Listed at $2,999/month, this architectural stunner brings history, serenity, and modern comfort together in one unforgettable home.
Originally designed in 1912 by famed architects William Gray Purcell and George Grant Elmslie, the home is a masterclass in Prairie-style design. Think clean horizontal lines, richly crafted millwork, and a natural connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The structure—once part of a grand estate—has been lovingly converted into a private residence, offering 1,051 square feet of bright, open living.
Inside, the two-bedroom, one-bath layout is both practical and elegant. Hardwood and tiled floors run throughout the upper level, where sunlight pours through generous windows into a warm, inviting living room. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and clever cabinetry that flows seamlessly into the shared living/dining space—ideal for quiet nights in or entertaining guests.
While the home itself is historic, the amenities are current: central air, in-unit laundry, and plenty of storage. There’s even assigned off-street parking, a must-have for those living so close to downtown Wayzata.
Outside, the location truly shines. Nestled in a private, wooded two-acre setting, the home is just minutes from Lake Minnetonka, Wayzata Beach and Marina, and the area’s vibrant shopping and dining scene. Grab your morning coffee from Starbucks, stroll the lakefront, or pop into grocers and boutiques—all less than five minutes away.
Pets are welcome too—with two cats or one small dog (under 10 pounds) permitted per rental terms.
Whether you’re testing the waters of Wayzata living, remodeling nearby, or seeking an artist’s hideaway, this home offers a flexible lease and an unbeatable setting in one of Minnesota’s most coveted ZIP codes.
Available now. Showings by appointment. Gimme shelter? This one’s the real deal.
