Description

Willow Ridge Design Build welcomes you to this custom three-story home, beautifully situated along the shores of Lake Mendota. Designed for both luxury and longevity, this home features three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two powder rooms, a home office, and thoughtful aging-in-place details, including zero-level entry and an elevator providing access to every floor. With a house sized at just 28’ wide x 75’ long, it was important to maximize the use of space on every floor.
The exterior blends custom-colored LP Smart Siding with Fon Du Lac Stone’s Big Timber Masonry, creating a sophisticated timber lodge aesthetic. Around the backside of the home, you will find a paved patio featuring a bar, firepit, and jacuzzi spa to enjoy as you view the lake. A detached two-story garage offers ample storage on the main level, while the upper floor features a golf simulator and bar for ultimate recreation with an additional guest room and bathroom.
Inside, Classic Contemporary design shines, seamlessly combining traditional and modern elements with a neutral color palette and clean, elegant lines. The kitchen showcases this style with inset Amish cabinetry, Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops, and SubZero-Wolf appliances. A 25-foot patio door and overhead windows provide breathtaking, unobstructed views of the lake from both the living room and second-floor loft. This design concept flows up to the 3rd floor primary suite where you’ll find an additional 18-foot patio door so the owners can enjoy the view of the lake from their bed.
This home is designed for entertaining. The first floor boasts a moody media room with plush theater seating, ideal for movies or gaming. As you continue through the first floor, you are greeted by 2 stunning wine storage walls that bring you into the open concept kitchen and living area where you can sit to enjoy a glass of wine and the view. On the second floor, a wet bar and billiards area offer a perfect spot for gathering with friends before heading down the hall to 2 guest bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The third floor is dedicated to the primary suite—a private retreat where you can unwind with a glass of champagne while gazing out over the water after you’ve finished working in your home office just down the hall.
