Apple Valley 'Wow!' House: A City Landmark

APPLE VALLEY, MN — This beauty in the Timberwick neighborhood pops. It's like a Tudor house crossed with a Cape Cod house, except the resulting house ended up having a mind of its own. The architectural planes intersect in ways those styles never expected.

Cedar shake shingles and stone walls inside and out make this home distinctive for the area. The size of the place is key here as well. The square footage tops out at 6,755. A huge stone-and-brick fireplace rises two stories. Four of the five bedrooms have their own ensuites or adjoining bathrooms. The garage holds six cars.

The rear exterior is easy on the eyes as well. There's a basketball court, and the whole thing is nestled among tiered gardens and towering woodland. Pretty hard to miss, if you ever were to accidentally wander into the cul-de-sac it's situated on and stand there to gawk at it.
