Tucked quietly between Lake of the Isles and Cedar Lake, Maranta is one of only seven homes in the city with private waterfront access to the Kenilworth Channel — and the only one envisioned and built with this level of care.

In 2019, the current owner worked with local architects, builders, and artisans to completely reimagine the site from the ground up — creating a home that feels both expansive and deeply personal. Designed for ease, elegance, and enduring quality, every detail was considered: from the walnut floors and hand-forged metalwork to the bespoke cabinetry and wellness-focused layout.

With over 6,000 finished square feet, vaulted ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows, Maranta offers rare scale for the area — yet remains beautifully in tune with its natural surroundings.

This is a home where craftsmanship meets calm. Where thoughtful spaces flow effortlessly from indoor to out. And where private waterfront living is not just possible — but perfected.
