Beautiful and distinctive, this expansive cul-de-sac home offers wooded privacy, exceptional space, and timeless character. Built by the Rose Totino family, it reflects warm Italian-inspired design throughout. A rounded turret entry with stained-glass windows, curved bench, decorative wood door, and patterned tile opens to a bright living room with soaring ceilings, large picture windows, stained-glass accents, elegant paneling, and hardwood floors.
A family room features a curved stone fireplace, brick accents, built-ins, and access to the charming brick bar with arched openings, wood cabinetry, wine storage, and seating. The adjoining kitchen includes tile flooring, granite countertops, a large island, planning desk, and a walk-in butler’s pantry. Nearby, an Italian-inspired brick alcove with arched opening, rich brickwork, and built-in benches brings warm, old-world character to the dining area, which flows to the sunroom and screened porch.
The sunroom offers wood-clad walls, vaulted beam ceiling, brick flooring, skylights, and backyard views, with deck access. A half-level down are the rear entry, laundry, walk-in closet, ¾ bath, and wood-lined hot tub room with patio access. A circular staircase leads to a turret office; the main staircase leads to the upper level with a family room/kitchenette, four bedrooms, and two baths. The top floor features a fifth bedroom with ensuite plus a generous primary suite with two walk-in closets and private bath.
The lower level offers two large recreation rooms, mirrored flex space, and storage. Exterior highlights include the turret, copper accents, screened porch, and four-car heated garage. Ideally located near parks, nature areas, shopping, and major routes in the Fridley School District.
