Apple Valley 'Wow!' House: Party Time

APPLE VALLEY, MN — This is the ultimate party house. Or is it the ultimate private spa and Zen meditation center? This gorgeous house in Heritage Hills has it all: a movie theater, a pool, even a double-sided gas fireplace between the master suite and its bathroom. Yes, you can take a hot bath by a fire.

The grand front entrance gives you a hint of the quirkiness you'll find inside. The open concept living room looks sharp with a gleaming kitchen and an island between. The party room downstairs (or simply "the bar" if you prefer, but it's a party room) has plenty of space for big gatherings, with or without that pinball machine in the corner. The designated movie theater room can comfortably seat eight home moviegoers. There's also built-in surround sound throughout the house. Out back, the recessed patio area with the pool is obscured for privacy behind a landscaped hill.

In all, there are four bedrooms, four bathrooms, four fireplaces, two laundry rooms, and two independent central air systems. Aesthetically, the detail work is what makes this 4,862-square-foot house shine. There are stone walls in all the right places: the aforementioned master suite bathroom, around the fireplaces, and some in the kitchen. Even that palm frond fan in one of the bedrooms seems at home here.
