Residential

This 7,200-square-foot Prairie-style home is located on the banks of the Black River. All major rooms orient towards sweeping vistas of the river and the Minnesota bluffs. The massing of the home is understated with simple roof lines. Every convenience was met while programming the home, from a three-car heated garage to four immaculate bedroom suites and a gourmet kitchen with all the amenities.

The interior is light and airy with white woodwork and sculptured ceilings throughout with wall space large enough for acquired artwork displays. The owners enjoy entertaining so the design incorporates a polished marble foyer with an adjacent library containing expansive bookcases and a large fireplace, a cozy place to read or visit during food preparation. A formal dining room accommodates 12 guests while the family room provides an atmosphere of easy conversation with a fireplace, bar, and patio access. Just a few steps down from the main level, the wine cellar provides additional entertainment opportunities with comfortable seating and a humidor.
