Oasis. Down a winding road under a canopy of towering trees, encounter a distinctive two story, three bedroom home nestled within a captivating 12 acre oasis of woods, trails, perennial gardens, a vast field, and an 11′ manmade pond, enhanced with an egret sculpture, Iron Range rock, and burr oak trees. Surround yourself with the uncompromising attention to detail of local craftsmen and artisans, using white oak, burr oak, and red elm harvested from the property, butternut, walnut, and the cherry for the mantel, sourced from southern Rice County, and the artist’s designed, handmade stained glass Trout Lily kitchen cabinet doors inserts. Admire the cherry coved moldings, granite counters, cherry kitchen cabinets, cherry wainscoting, white oak flooring, butternut walls, the antique, oak surround with leaded glass, Chicago brick, train station paver brick, the arched brickwork of the chimney mirroring the arched great room window, and whimsical directional weather vanes on the cupolas. Capture the light with walls of windows, bay windows, clerestory windows, a vaulted ceiling, French doors, and lights atop deck posts. Note a spacious, tile foyer, a butternut paneled, main floor office, separate dining room with oak flooring, cherry wainscoting, and cherry crown moldings, built-in shelving, surround sound wired, Chicago brick floor to ceiling fireplace, two decks, recessed lights, screened porch, walk-out lower level, a two car garage with a separate covered carport, wine cellar, a craft room ready to be finished, and the spectacular, insulated, 1 1/2 story Barn with a workshop, machine storage area, pine ceiling, and loft. Relish the best of both worlds–the sounds of silence in the enriching environment of Walnut Grove yet arrival in Northfield within minutes.
