A CAR-LOVER’S DREAM ESTATE! Discover the ideal combination of privacy, luxury, and convenience with this extraordinary custom-designed estate, nestled on nearly 2 secluded acres just minutes from recreational lakes, scenic parks, trails, major highways, and the downtowns of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Blending European elegance with exceptional craftsmanship, this one-of-a-kind residence is thoughtfully designed for those who appreciate bold style and superior quality. Constructed on a 12-inch poured concrete foundation, the home features 11-inch smooth cedar trim, rich pine, oak, and cherry woodwork, 36-inch doors, 4-foot wide staircases, and expansive hallways. Anderson Perma-Shield windows, solid core doors, and 5/8-inch sheetrock walls and ceilings with R19 insulation ensure lasting comfort and durability. Enjoy 9-foot ceilings and custom balconies supported by a 36-foot steel beam, with fully custom fascia and railings. In-floor heating warms the kitchen, mudroom, primary and guest bathrooms, and rear garage. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, offering 14-inch deep cabinetry, heated tile floors, Norwegian tile backsplash, double oven, warming drawer, and a generous center island. The formal dining room is adorned with solid cherry woodwork, a built-in buffet with granite countertops, and a custom molding from Spain granite backsplash. A 28x12 four-season porch provides year-round enjoyment. The luxurious primary suite features built-in cabinetry, a custom headboard, and a walk-in dressing room with approximately 20 feet of hanging space, 80 feet of shelving, and 8 dresser drawers. The spa-like bath includes a 4x7 roll-in shower and Jacuzzi tub. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious family room, guest bedroom, large dressing room, full bath, 38x12 storage area, and cedar closet.
