·         Kitchen has eat-in breakfast bar and abundant storage in the beautiful, medium-toned hardwood cabinets. Upgraded features in the kitchen include brushed nickel hardware, pull-out pantry and shelves, and integral refrigerator and dishwasher with hardwood paneled fronts to match cabinets.  Cabinets are topped with sophisticated high cornice rope-trimmed headers and include a glass-fronted corner display cabinet.  The high quality hardwood (oak) cabinets have the appearance of alder wood, due to their light graining and rich, alder-toned finish.

·         Highly desirable 3 bedrooms on main floor!  Main floor master has stunning custom painted trayed (coved) ceiling and generous walk-in closet.  On-suite master bath has walk-in shower, and double sinks with full length hardwood vanity, brushed nickel cabinet pulls, floor to ceiling linen cabinet, and ample storage drawers.

·         Second and third main floor bedrooms have oversize closets with upgraded full-length mirrored doors.  Third bedroom has been framed for optional double-door entrance off of foyer if a future office conversion is desired.  A full bathroom with tub, shower, and oversized vanity with storage is shared by the two bedrooms.

·         Two more generously sized bedrooms and a bathroom with ceramic subway tiled walk-in shower and ceramic tile floor complete the lower level.  A future 6^th bedroom is ready to be finished or can be used for extra storage.

·         Custom-designed L-shaped, carpeted stairway has a gentle incline due to its extended, shallow treads and mid-point landing, making it easy to climb even by young children and elders.   Outside deck stairway has been similarly designed.

·         Oversize triple garage with automatic opener fits 3 cars or even 2 cars and a boat!  Includes workbench area and one whole side of the garage was designed as to provide ample storage room for sports and equipment without taking up parking space.

·         Utility area includes furnace with Spaceguard Air Filter, new (less than 2 years old) water heater, water softener (owned), and sump pump.  The patio area has city approved and builder installed drain system to drain any rain water to the greenway.  The unique design of this drainage plan allows the home drain tiles to drain via gravity out to the greenway, resulting in the sump pump rarely kicking in.  An additional secondary sump pump can be placed in the patio area for back-up as desired.

·         Very high quality construction techniques used as evident in the exposed ceiling beams in the lower level utility room.   Take note of the floor trusses (instead of joists) joined by metal plates and the overhead steel beams.  The entire building process was overseen by the owner, a construction expert and former recipient of the South Dakota Architects Craftsman of the Year Award.

·         A complete home security system has been installed and is currently active.
