WELCOME TO ORONO'S FINEST
The lush green of Spring and Summer!
This landmark location, once part of the historic Stubbs Estate,
offers privacy and seclusion on the largest acreage in the area.
Your private drive welcomes you to the home of your dreams!
Approaching the main residence, you'll see a secondary garage/storage
area. This is a perfect spot for extra cars, outdoor equipment or
general storage. As well-constructed and finished as the home,
it invites uses as an artist's studio... or "man room"!
The natural beauty of this location is breathtaking.
Wildlife and views are abundant! The owners
took great care in restoring a wetland pond and
maintaining a professionally-designed prairie.
Beautiful landscaping greets you at every turn.
Native perennials, trees and shrubs were carefully selected for
complementing this native landscape.
Relax and enjoy the view from the expansive front porch.
This private area overlooks beautifully landscaped areas --
a large fountain provides a distinctive focal point and
pleasing sounds from the cascading water.
A large foyer leads to an inviting sitting area with brick fireplace.
The large dining room has beautiful ceiling detail and custom built-ins.
This room easily accommodates your largest table and sideboard.
A butler's pantry offers storage and serving space.
This is just one example of the level of detail in this home.
Welcome to a heart-of-the-home living room just off the kitchen.
Here's where you will gather for relaxation, conversation and
inspiring views of nature. This is a space meant to be
lived in and enjoyed every day. Floor-to-ceiling windows
bring the outdoors inside, providing "vacation-style" vistas.
The main floor office is an in-home retreat. Here you can work,
plan and dream in a stunning environment of abundant
woodwork and windows. With year-round views of nature,
this gracious space could make every workday a pleasure.
Gleaming hardwood floors complement the beautiful kitchen cabinets.
There's ample space for a large eat-in area, plus seating at
the spacious island. Don't miss all the storage -- this kitchen
was planned for active cooking and entertaining! When you're
ready to head outdoors, a glass door leads to the patio beyond.
The 4-season sunroom could be your most-enjoyed area of the home.
With transomed windows and vaulted, beamed ceiling,
this is the ideal spot for morning coffee (or afternoon nap!).
Step outside from the kitchen or sunroom. A winding brick
path leads to perennial beds and graceful pergola.
This peaceful area is your own private park where you'll
enjoy all the sights and sounds nature has to offer.
The master suite is filled with light -- from the floor-to-ceiling windows
to the trayed ceilings. A gas fireplace adds to the appeal. The adjoining
bath has incredible views as well. Separate, spacious walk-in closets
provide space for all you could imagine. 
What spa can offer views like this?
Separate (across the room) sink areas, lots of storage,
and a private toilet area make this everyday pampering.
The bedrooms are all large and each has beautiful
views of woods and wetlands. This is one of the "jack and jill"
bedrooms with walk-though bath.
The upstairs hallway is more than a passing area! There's a
built-in desk and large storage areas on your way to the master
suite (plus three additional bedrooms on this level).
This is the "back" staircase, leading from the
mudroom/laundry area to upstairs.
Charming nooks and crannies add personality to the home.
There's even a "secret room" for children (which could be
adopted for extra storage by parents!).
The mudroom area is attached to three entry areas!
Filled with built-in storage, there's space for
every family member to have space for belongings.
The walk-out lower level offers room to relax and entertain.
The open space with stone fireplace is a cozy winter gathering spot.
There's an area for a pool table, plus a kitchen/bar spot for fixing
those much-needed snacks! When summer arrives, open the
doors and enjoy all the outdoors has to offer. The high ceilings
and abundant windows of this space make this a favorite
go-to area of the home. There are two bedrooms/two baths
on this level as well. And don't forget all the storage areas.
Every inch has been planned for gracious (but active) living!
In space like this, popcorn is just the beginning!
The fieldstone fireplace and casual pine millwork
highlight this area as the family go-to space.
There's space for the whole scout troop or family reunion!
This area was planned for a pool table... and ample
space for other gamers too!
This is the largest parcel in the area -- nearly 12 acres of nature
once enjoyed by the Stubbs family. Close to Lake Minnetonka and
area conveniences, it's a reasonable commute into Minneapolis that
will become even more attractive when the Hwy. 312 corridor is completed.
This nearly 12-acre estate property is just 1/4 mile to Lake Minnetonka,
with all its beauty, history and recreational assets.
The snowy beauty of winter!
