Property Description
The home has undergone significant renovations and improvements, including a full kitchen redesign featuring Cambria quartz countertops, an oversized center island, custom soft-close cabinetry, pullout storage, pantry cabinetry, JennAir refrigerator, KitchenAid double ovens, and an adjoining wet bar with additional cabinetry and quartz surfaces. New hardwood floors were installed throughout the main level, with new millwork, lighting, + select new windows throughout the home. In addition a compete exterior renovation, installation and upgrades of an in-ground saltwater pool, extensive landscaping plus so much more. Nearly $700k has been invested in improvements since purchasing this home in 2006 - most in the past 5-10 years.
The layout offers multiple gathering spaces including three fireplaces, a vaulted sunroom overlooking the backyard pool, and a lower-level recreation room with wet bar. An existing porch was converted into a heated four-season retreat overlooking the rear yard - one of the home's most distinctive spaces - the backyard landscape and pool area. An entire wall of windows frames the wooded setting and brings natural light deep into the home while maintaining privacy in nearly every direction.
The primary suite was substantially reconfigured and renovated to become an unparalleled retreat. Vaulted wood and beamed ceilings & recessed lighting instantly create a warm and calming ambiance, while natural light floods the room from the adjoining four-season porch. The redesigned walk-in closet steals the show - a grand chandelier is centered over a luxe center island, and the large transom window installed above the barn door takes even further advantage of the natural light. Custom closet organization systems complete the function of the space. The spa-inspired bath is its own sanctuary - a skylight overhead, dual sink vanity with generous storage, frameless zero-entry shower, and a soaking tub built for relaxation. Separated by a pocket door from the rest of the bath, the toilet room can be used in complete privacy. The heated tile floors are icing on the cake and carry over into the stunning four-season porch, allowing for complete comfort while taking advantage of elevated views year-round.
Outdoor spaces were designed to take advantage of the home's private setting, including a heated saltwater pool surrounded by stamped concrete, mature landscaping, a misting system, irrigation-fed garden beds, and wooded views. Recent pool improvements include updated liner, heater, safety covers, robotic cleaner, drains, and skimmers. A Trex deck with cable railings and integrated lighting extends from the dining area and just step to the pool. Finally, a fire pit area is tucked into the trees beyond the pool.
Positioned near the border of West St. Paul and Mendota Heights near Somerset Country Club, the location provides close access to golf, trails, parks, and nature preserves including Dodge Nature Center, Lilydale Regional Park, Mendakota Country Club, and Wentworth Park while remaining convenient to both downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul and 5 minutes from MSP International airport. Exceptional schools, both public and private are nearby. *Please do not drive into the private driveway without an approved showing*
