Description:

Nestled away on a 7+ acre, wooded and private homesite, this enchanting two-story home offers the feel and serenity of up-north living yet the conveniences of the city.

A winding drive delivers you to this beautifully maintained home surrounded by mature trees and beautiful perennial landscaping. The home’s exterior is finished with cedar siding and cedar shake roof. An aggregate walkway bordered with decorative hostas, ferns, lilies and a delightful small fish pond with pump deliver guests to the covered entry with beadboard accents.

The front door flanked with windows and decorative arch transom welcomes guests inside to the spacious foyer featuring stone flooring and an open staircase. Just past the staircase, you’ll be drawn to the expansive living room. This spectacular space showcases wood floors and a vaulted, tongue-n-groove cedar ceiling with beam supports and accents. An oversized brick fireplace features a large mantle refurbished from a turn-of-the-century soda fountain in the area, and a large bayed area of windows invites wooded views and natural light in. The staircase is open to the living room, and in the past has presented itself as the perfect place to stage musical entertainment for parties.

The formal dining room, adjacent to the kitchen & study, offers an additional area for entertaining. Its spacious design and warm inviting features include hardwood floors, crown molding, chair rail, decorative ceiling medallion above the chandelier, as well as a cozy fireside dining. Unique in fashion, the fireplace offers a Dutch delft tile surround.

Well designed and very functional, the kitchen is a cook’s delight. Its peninsula design offers a comfortable, but spacious area for creating meals with granite counters and upscale appliances. Additional features include a large buffet with decorative display doors, planning desk, and large, bayed informal dining area.

Stone floors from the kitchen flow into the back foyer which offers a powder room with granite topped vanity and laundry room.

Find comfort in the inviting study featuring a uniquely designed, corner fireplace with brick surround. The study offers access to the screen porch where you may enjoy hours of relaxing with tree house wildlife views and quiet and tranquil nature sounds while sitting outside free from unwanted insects. The screen porch also offers stairs to access the lower level deck and pool house.

From the foyer, the beautifully designed open staircase with large two-story window and wood treads ascend to the private areas of the home. At the top, a wood floor hallway extends past three bedrooms, each with wood floors and wooded views, to the master suite. The suite showcases a wood-burning, tile surround fireplace, wood floors, large walk-in closet, and a recently updated full private bath. An additional full bath with granite topped vanity, linen closet, and a convenient cedar closet for off-season clothing, completes the upper level.

The expansive lower level features tile flooring and many multi-purpose areas. A large amusement room offers ample space for a media area, in addition to a game table area. The workshop will be welcomed by any handyman, and the large sub-garage offers great storage and is the perfect temperature for storing wine. Additionally, a ¾ bath is located off the sitting room which walks out to the deck and pool house.

The backyard, partially fenced, is filled with gorgeous perennial landscaping and surrounds the deck walkway which leads to the fabulous 50’ x 33’ pool house – the perfect solution for enjoying your pool year-round in Minnesota. Custom designed to encompass the pool; this building features a 3 x 6 tongue-n-groove vaulted ceiling comprised of fabricated laminated boards custom engineered to span the distance of the pool house. Large arch trusses add support and character to the structure. The commercial-grade concrete pool is easy to maintain and relatively easy to heat given its controlled environment. An air/heat exchange system creates a perfect temperature/moisture balance year-round.

One of a kind… this spectacular home, fantastic homesite, and its fabulous amenities are truly a unique offering.
