Wow! House: Cozy Northfield Home With Beautiful Woodwork

NORTHFIELD, MN – This one-of-a kind home is for people who want to smile each time they enter their home, right before they pour a glass of scotch and seller into their comfortable yet striking home. The wood beams of the high ceilings arch over spacious common rooms which look out over the deck to the wooded greenery beyond.

Whether it's the fireplace that beckons you from two sides or from the spacious main floor, that smile will be difficult to hide. Walk down the broad, open wood stairway to the lower level, and you will find the quiet and privacy of bedrooms and offices, each with a full wall of windows looking onto the spacious back lawn.

Add a workroom, laundry room, furnace room, and enough storage rooms and closets to hide every item not tastefully displayed elsewhere, and you probably won't even be aware that not one interior wall is load-bearing, due to the I-beams that span the entire width of the house.

You'll be so busy admiring the woodwork, the simplicity of the spaces, and the usefulness of so many rooms sharing a wide, open hallway, it'll be hard to realize that you are on the lower level of the home. The acre lot is enough space to have privacy from neighbors or to build a barn, yet cozy enough that you will still feel a part of this small, rural circular-drive neighborhood of friendly Northfielders.
