Now welcoming this Tim Johnson designed and Bruckelmyer built home to the market for its first time! This home showcases intricate details starting with the elevated building site and ending with the finishing touch of the copper finial, emulating that of its neighbor, St. Scholastica. The luxurious features continue with in-floor heat and central AC for comfort, Marvin windows with custom natural fiber treatments throughout, a central vac system for maintaining your preferred cleanliness, and a backup generator for the whole house. The main entry flows into a spacious great room with tall ceilings and large windows allowing a plethora of natural light. Step into the heated, 4-season sunroom that opens into the back patio, or drift towards the kitchen where you'll find a chef's dream. Two sinks, two stoves, and two dishwashers. Dressed with custom birch cabinetry, cherry hardwood floors, and granite counters that match the granite surround of the gas fireplace that separates the kitchen and the current informal living area. Utilize this adjacent space to your taste, as a secondary living room or dining room. The hallway beyond serves as a mudroom, and hosts the main floor laundry, the entries to both the garage and backyard, along with a 1/2 bath and utility closet. The second floor presents all three bedrooms. The primary bedroom en suite includes a magnificent view of St. Scholastica and peek-a-boo views of Lake Superior! Also treated with a private balcony, cedar sauna, jacuzzi and spacious walk-in closet. Yes, please! The expansive upper library / living room is fitted with an additional gas fireplace and entries to the other two bedrooms and a shared 3/4 bath. Have fun with this special feature... one of the bedrooms has a hidden library door entry! The far side of the library flows into an expansive theatre with a built in projector/screen and sound system, and leads into a separate craft room. This could also be used as an extra non-conforming bedroom and a dreamy walk-in closet! The 3-car attached garage below is heated, insulated, sheeted, and accompanied by a walk-in safe/vault on the backside of the garage. Schedule a time to check this property out, enjoy the extravagant landscaping, the meticulous details and craftsmanship, and mull over the idea of making this home yours!
