This home looks like one of the original river houses on the St. Croix River. Actually it is, but updated. The wrap around porch is original, but the remainder of the home is newly renovated with the same feel and look of the 100 year old river houses. Original wainscoting and some of the original doors were refinished, rehung and used throughout. The fir hardwood floors are done in a rich dark walnut stain. The original stone wood burning fireplace was kept intact, plus a new gas fireplace was added in the great room. The upper level features many guest rooms and some with connecting sleeping porches. There are also full length hallway bookcases leading back to the guest bathrooms and office. This home was a summer get away, but will now be a permanent living space for generations to come. |
