What a unique opportunity this is to list this home as available again for a new family! My name is John Knoblauch and I proudly designed and built this former model home! I spent almost 2 years designing this home, based on my 30 years of single family design experience. During this time I also formed a study group of friends and former clients to help me design this home into what we all believed would be the near perfect home for today's fast moving families. Our main goal was to create a home that would be super convenient and functional, but also immersed with eye appeal. Our second emphasis was to design numerous stress free, relaxing spaces, to entertain in, but also where you could put your feet up, after a busy day.Then, I spent 14 months putting my heart and soul into building this special home. And the accolades for this award winning home are still coming in years later!So here's my biased description of what this home offers. When you enter this home you will notice everything is hand picked and custom made,with the easy flow being the highlight. Doesn't matter where you look, everything is in the right place. The spacious foyer, the front facing half bath, the mudroom lockers, the awesome walk through pantry, the private command center with a drop zone that leads to the everyday direct kitchen entrance. The chef's kitchen then allows you at the large center island, to stand at the sink and preside over all activities of the main level, all while enjoying tons of natural light and at the same time overlooking a spacious and perfect size great room with its slate surround gas fireplace situated between stunning cabinetry. The main level den offers spectacular double barn doors and a one of a kind paneled wall.Upstairs is second to none. The owners suite has double doors, separate closets and vanities, a free standing tub, and an oasis tiled shower. Across the hallway from the suite... Is it a hutch cabinet? No! It is a secret door to another bedroom suite with its own private bath! Wow, now look at this upstairs laundry with a folding counter, storage and deep sink! Then take in the cute loft with a skylight. How could this all be beat? Wait for it! There is more! Check out the fun dual bedrooms for the modern family! Featuring 2 more private bedrooms with their own walk in closets and vanities! Who would have thunk it? What could out do this? Wait, we have not seen the lower level yet!Venturing down 2 levels of the gorgeous switchback staircase and holy cow, there it is! You have now have arrived at the one of a kind commercial super bowl wet bar! Inspired by an old Irish pub, what a great gathering space for the best entertaining in the neighborhood! Complete with commercial sinks, wine fridge., microwave, and seating to watch the game in 3 locations, this will be all smiles for any gathering! Cherry on top at this pub is the century old back lit antique stained glass window, professionally restored.Lower level also has huge guest br. and warmly decorated 3/4 bath. Plenty of storage space to top it off. Other highlights to take in, 6 walk in closets! All custom cabinetry, Marvin windows, maintenance free deck to sit and enjoy the fully fenced in backyard, Insulated garage with snow melt floor drain, sprinkler system, and a mechanical system setup that was installed by the best team of professionals in the twin cities.For you nature lovers, nestled at the end of this heavily treed 1600' long cul de sac neighborhood, you will find the beginning of the Rice Marsh Lake trail! Now go get your bike or tennis shoes! It is time to enjoy this lightly traveled 3.5 mile trail of paved pathways that leads directly into the Chanhassen park system!So do you settle for ordinary in your next house? Or do you go for an extraordinary refuge! I hereby invite you to jump at the opportunity to finally live in a home you can truly say, this is my peaceful and happy place!!
