Designing A Memorable First Impression

First impressions are lasting, and our grand Woodbury Artisan Home was designed to be remembered. This elegant European style chateau transports you from suburban Minneapolis to the warm Tuscan countryside. You enter the property circling the stately driveway, surrounded by the rolling green yard and lushly manicured landscaping.

Next you’re greeted by the dramatic front entrance with its graceful triple arches and intricately patterned double doors. Oval, gridded windows add visual interest and echo the arches above. While the stone and stucco siding continue the home’s timeless style. Upon entering, the medallion inlay surrounded by Acacia wood flooring welcomes you into the stunning two-story foyer.

Winding rod-iron staircases lead you above or below, you merely have to decide which path to explore first. Each room on the main floor is welcoming and refined. The tall ceilings, exposed wood beams, and grand fireplace all bring a cozy spirit to the living room. Moving into the dining room, the rich floral patterns, dark wood, and traditional furniture set a distinctly formal tone. Understated sconces and ornate chandeliers throughout the main floor carry out the home’s villa style.

Later, as the evening draws to a close, the front porch’s calm lamplight urges you to linger a little longer over your customary Minnesota goodbye. Perhaps even taking a seat on the stone steps and enjoying one last glass of wine under the stars.
