This fabulous, well-appointed custom-built executive walkout rambler is second to none. Built in 1999, the home was tastefully appointed, has been mindfully updated and is very well cared for--it feels almost new.

Handsome architecture, stone accents and lovely landscaping give the home tremendous curb appeal. The finishes inside capture an upscale feel, featuring double-pane Marvin Integrity wood windows, six-panel doors, premium millwork and knock-down ceilings throughout. The main floor features an open floor plan with solid hardwood floors, a gorgeous great room with 18-foot vaulted ceiling, built-ins and a gas fireplace, and a kitchen with lovely granite and stainless steel appliances including a Frigidaire professional series gas range and a Maytag refrigerator with ice and water maker and pull-out freezer drawer.

The layout is perfect and also features a quiet main-floor office, main-floor laundry/mud room with more built-in cabinetry, and a large master suite with generously sized private master bath with dual vanities, Jacuzzi and separate shower with new glass shower door, and a nice walk-in closet with built-in organizers. Off the great room and master suite is a fabulous maintenance-free deck surrounded by lovely trees. The lower level is also open and sprawling and features two more bedrooms, a nice family room with newer gas fireplace, a recreation room and plenty of storage with wine-cellar shelving that stays for the new owner. And there's an immaculate three-car garage with premium epoxy flooring and shelving installed recently by the owners.

Aside from boasting a wonderful house, this property features a unique lot that is sited on a hill and surrounded by trees, and is just a few hundred feet away from an old homestead with horses--the combination of which provides a unique peaceful, almost country setting in a close-in suburb just 15 minutes from Minneapolis.

This property is slated to be listed on MLS late January after final preparations are complete, but is available now for private showings.
