Beautiful Timber Frame, 2200+ sqft Home, in the Lutsen highland mature maples. Structurally Insulated Panel (SIP) design with unique beam detailing on 25 Acres of Solitude and Peace, abutting public land. This is a 2 Bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home with new energy efficient triple-paned windows and doors (precision engineered, opening horizontally and vertically) built on top of an insulated concrete form foundation. The timber frame and cabinetry are all custom built by local craft people. There is ceramic tile and one-of-a-kind antique maple parquet flooring on the main level. The heating system uses off-Peak, in-floor heat and a propane fireplace for additional warmth. Newly installed roller shades are a beautiful addition. There are 3 decks overlooking amazing gardens, two of which are timber framed, one an inspired pergola. The dramatic exposed timber frame beams are embellished with details making this an art piece, as much as a home. Coming into the spacious, all glass entry of the home is jaw-dropping. The kitchen is class-act with granite tiled counters and a carved wood vent-hood as a central attraction. Three unique timber frame "bays," open to each other, compose the dining area off the kitchen, the living room with access to the deck and the family room with bump-out for views of the woods and garden. Head up the custom stairs into the loft both surrounded by a statement railing of handmade curved balusters and timber posts. The loft is just the place for heightened thought, good conversation and could double as an office and extra sleeping for guests. The primary bedroom is dramatic angles of wood with a large dormer. The ensuite bath is to die for with marble flooring! The second bedroom is private with separate entry to the lower bathroom. The pantry off the kitchen is large and spacious. Main floor laundry is handy. The owners have well maintained their home: upgraded appliances, fresh coat of paint on the house trim, and a new roof is coming soon. The property includes a 2-car garage with storage area above, a 24x24 heated workshop with upper attic room, and a 12x16 heated artist studio. The home has excellent pure well water. There are mature flower gardens, shrubs and apple trees and a well enriched vegetable garden. Nearby lakes, trails, paddling, hiking, and biking. The property is 15 minutes to all the Lutsen amenities: golf course, ski hill, winery, yet a world away in the pristine, cool, Northwoods.
