This architecturally distinctive home, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie and Usonian styles, is set on 1.66 wooded acres with a meandering creek and abundant wildlife. Built in 1982 and enhanced with an enclosed entry and oversized 2½-car garage, the design emphasizes natural materials, clean lines, and strong indoor-outdoor connections through large windows that flood the interior with natural light. A circular driveway, block wall, and thoughtful landscaping complement the home’s striking exterior. Inside, the foyer showcases rich cedar and redwood siding, limestone floors, and steps. The vaulted main-level primary suite features Mahogany accents, a full bath, and abundant natural light from windows and skylights. The open living/dining area centers around a limestone fireplace and opens to a distinctive “treehouse” deck with a diamond-patterned surface, ideal for entertaining. The kitchen continues the design aesthetic with Mahogany cabinetry and high-end KitchenAid and Bosch appliances. The finished walkout lower level includes a central family room with French doors to a peaceful patio and porch swing, two additional bedrooms (one with ensuite ¾ bath), a spacious laundry area with utility sink, storage, central vac, and upgraded water filtration system. Added features include a Generac whole-house generator, dual 240V/50A RV outlets, a storage shed, and extra guest or RV parking. Surrounded by mature trees and located in a vibrant community near top schools, healthcare, and both St. Olaf and Carleton Colleges, this home also offers easy access to I-35 for commutes to the Twin Cities or Rochester. Original blueprints included—a rare opportunity to own a truly inspired architectural home.
