Property Description
A rare retreat designed by renowned architect John Howe, whose 27 years as Frank Lloyd Wright's chief draftsman profoundly influenced his Prairie School-inspired work in Minnesota. Nestled on 2.79 wooded acres along Pleasant Lake, this distinctive home offers exceptional privacy, with no neighbors visible to the rear, and a private dock for enjoying the lake. Thoughtfully maintained and enhanced by the current owners, the home beautifully balances its architectural character with today's comfort and functionality. Walls of windows and warm architectural details create a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. The entire upper level is dedicated to the Primary Suite, featuring its own private balcony, an expansive walk-in closet and a spa-like Bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, large separate shower and private water closet. Inviting Living & Family Rooms each offer a gas fireplace (added 2018), while the walkout lower level is designed for entertaining with a Theatre Room boasting a built-in projector w/ screen & a Wet Bar.
