As the busy owner of a large Twin
Cities-based business, the homeowner wanted a place to relax and enjoy
Minnesota’s short summer season without having to drive hours to a lake
cabin. The home’s generous lot provided the perfect opportunity for the
homeowner and his family to build an at-home retreat that included a
pool, pool house, double garage with room for a game room loft, and an
outdoor living space.
The finished product, a true getaway,
encourages rest and relaxation. The pool deck accommodates large parties
with its outdoor living area, built in fire pit with conveniently
located wood box and a comfy pool lounging area. The kitchen bar and
stunning stone outdoor grill provides plenty of entertainment spaces. An
indoorchanging area and bathroom with shower guarantee guests and family
can enjoy their fun in the sun uninterrupted by long walks back to the
house. A glass-tile backsplash, black granite countertops, vaulted
tongue-in-groove ceiling, and cement flooring stamped to look like
wooden floorboards give the covered dining and kitchen area an upscale,
yet fun casual feeling. The perfect getaway without leaving home.
