Welcome to 16545 Duluth Trail! A custom-built Robert Thomas two-story in the coveted Spirit of Brandtjen Farm neighborhood of Lakeville. With 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, a 3-car garage, and more than 4,800 square feet of living space, this home delivers thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship throughout.
The open layout draws your eye immediately to the serene pond views that serve as the home's natural focal point. The living room feels bright and expansive, connecting seamlessly to the kitchen where a large center island, new dishwasher and refrigerator, and a butler's pantry make both cooking and entertaining effortless. The formal dining room shines with a statement chandelier, while the informal dining area just off the kitchen opens to the deck — a perfect spot to take in the water views. Off the mudroom and family entrance sits a versatile hobby or resource room, ideal for crafts, homework, or remote work.
Upstairs, brand-new plush carpeting enhances each bedroom with warmth and elegance. The primary suite showcases a beautifully appointed ensuite bath and a spacious walk-in closet with abundant storage. Two bedrooms share a stylish Jack & Jill bath, while the fourth enjoys its own private ¾ bath. A convenient laundry room and large family room complete the upper level, blending comfort and ease throughout.
The walkout lower level continues the home's connection to nature, featuring a generous amusement room that opens directly to the backyard and water's edge — a peaceful view in summer that transforms into the neighborhood skating rink in winter. An additional room on this level serves as the perfect space for guests, a home gym, or a private office.
Residents of Spirit of Brandtjen Farm enjoy a vibrant community lifestyle with amenities that include a clubhouse, outdoor pool, fitness center, multiple playgrounds, sand volleyball and basketball courts, and miles of scenic trails. Located within the award-winning District 196 schools, this home perfectly combines beauty, comfort, and community in one truly special setting.
