n n n IMAGINE TURNING ONTO a long, winding driveway that takes you home to a different world. A world where you leave your cares behind and sink into the serenity of nature. That’s the magic of this beautiful town of Merton estate located in the heart of Lake Country. You feel as if you are in the North Woods at a beautiful resort four or five hours away, yet actually you’re close to the action, or as close as you care to be.
The essence of this transitional Tutor reflects its surroundings. Built on 12.2 acres of private woods and prairie, you’ll see strength in the home’s natural stone exterior and whimsy in the unique polygon tower that graces its front view. Everything is custom and the quality is tangible: Brazilian cherry wood floors, artful wrought iron, soaring ceilings, walls of windows and an abundance of natural light. When each element is combined, it’s an open invitation to close your eyes, take a deep breath, exhale slowly, and smile.
The lush, green landscape outside provides a backdrop for almost every room inside of the home. The great room is flanked by windows, allowing natural light to spill into the voluminous space. Twenty foot, cathedral ceilings make the room feel fresh and airy. At the same time your eyes are drawn to a two-story natural stone fireplace, which grounds the space. A second floor balcony overlooks the great room. This open concept continues into a casual dining area and gourmet kitchen.
There is a bright energy in the kitchen, fit for a chef, yet comfortable for family and friends. White cabinets contrast with darker granite counter tops for a look that is crisp, bold, and clean. A large island gives you plenty of room for food prep, while you talk with the kids about their homework or friends who stop by. A casual dining area is outlined with a custom wood floor inlay and opens to an elevated deck outside. Dine alfresco in what feels like a tree house and enjoy your natural surroundings. A butler’s pantry and bar provide a thoughtful transition into the formal dining room.
Let’s talk about that wonderful polygon tower in the front of the home. It is the foundation for two very imaginative spaces, one on the first floor and another on the second. On the ground floor, French doors lead into the multi-dimensional room. Windows grace four of the six walls to light up the space. A gas fireplace adds intimacy and charm. It’s perfect for an office or family room. Whatever purpose you choose there’s one thing for sure, you’ll never want to leave.
Two separate staircases take you to the second floor. One is near the kitchen, and the other is in the grand foyer. The mains staircase is a study in contrast. Beautifully turned wood spindles are traditional and make an artistic statement when paired with one-of-a-kind wrought iron balusters on each stair. The graceful outcome is enough to take your breath away.
It provides an opportunity to live a world away from the whirlwind of everyday life, it’s the best of both worlds.
The master bedroom is just as captivating with its enchanted view, whether new snow clings to bare branches in the forest or green leaves wave softly on a breeze. The room is spacious, to match the great outdoors, and so is an extra-large walk-in closet. There is nothing like the warmth of a heated, marble floor under your feet. That is what you’ll find in the ensuite spa bathroom along with a jetted tub, huge shower, rich cherry wood cabinets and ample storage. There are three more bedrooms on the second floor. One guest or children’s bedroom has a private, attached bathroom. The other two are joined by a Jack and Jill bathroom. The polygon room on the second floor would make a great bedroom for one of the kids!
Entertaining is made easy in the home’s finished and exposed lower level. Heated slate floors and a wood burning, pot-bellied stove create a cozy ambiance in the lower level family room. Serve your friends from the kitchenette or sit at the bar and watch a good game of billiards. There is space for a tennis table or your gym equipment. You can put a bed in the lower level bonus room, with an adjacent full bathroom. Just outside of the big windows and sliding glass doors of the lower level, enjoy that “other world” brought to you by Mother Nature. Watch for wildlife, hike on numerous walking paths, or pick wild raspberries from the grounds of your very own wooded sanctuary. This spectacular estate is inspired by and immersed in the calming power of nature. The home is beautifully appointed and attentively blends with its environment. It provides an opportunity to live a world away from the whirlwind of everyday life, with everything you need or want nearby. You could call it the best of both worlds, and you would almost be right. Actually, it’s the best of both worlds and so much more.
