      <description>347 Meadow Crest Trail,  Cottage Grove, WI  53527&lt;br /&gt;Looking for a high quality, custom built home with ALL of the bells and whistles?  Look no further.  The moment you walk into the large, welcoming foyer you will know this home is a step above the rest.  The owners took control during the building process and tastefully upgraded and designed the details.  The overall cost to build was approximately $492,000.  It has everything on your wish list.   

     Start with a dream kitchen.  There are Schrock, maple cabinets in a cinnamon stain, a Sub Zero refrigerator, Wolf gas range/hood vent, Bosch dishwasher, GE Profile built in microwave, plus Viking beverage cooler.  Add in the gorgeous glass tile backsplash, Quartz counter tops in warm, earth tones, &amp; upgraded lighting and you have everything you need for entertaining in style.  Even the double, stainless steel sink has been upgraded to an Elkay brand with a sleek Brizo faucet. 

     The beautiful maple floors flow from the foyer into the open concept great room.  You will notice the graceful arched doorways and oak, 4 panel doors.  Cozy up to the gas fireplace in winter and spend the summers in the large screened-in porch or grill on the attached deck.  There is a handy gas hookup from the house so no LP tanks needed for the grill. 

     Room for everyone to spread out.  The main floor has a full master suite with walk-in closet, Kohler fixtures, double sinks and jetted tub.  The 1000 square foot upper level bonus area has it's own heating zone, private full bath, walk-in closet and reading area to curl up with a book and your favorite beverage.  Could be used as a second master suite, mother-in-law suite or your teenager's get away.  Should not be used for guests unless you don't mind if they refuse to leave! 

     Need more room?  How about another 2180 sq ft in the full walk out lower level?  It is ready to finish as a familyroom and 5th bedroom, plus there is a rough-in for a full bath.  The stairway from the spotless 3 car garage leads right to the mechanical room for carrying the softener salt and other items directly to the storage area.</description>

      <description>2678 28th Street,  Birchwood, WI  54817&lt;br /&gt;Looking to relax and simplify your life? How about a completely furnished &amp; decorated lakefront estate? This home is located on the shore of Red Cedar Lake in Barron County, WI, approximately 2 hours from Minneapolis/St. Paul and 1 hour north of Eau Claire, WI. Red Cedar Lake is 1841 acres, with a maximum depth of 53 feet.  

      It is home to Walleye, Northern Pike, Pan Fish and plenty of Bass. Lakes Hemlock and Balsam are also accessible by boat from Red Cedar Lake. Cross country skiing, ice fishing and snowmobiling are favorite winter past times of these lucky residents. Listen to the lake moan as it freezes while you are soaking in the steamy hot tub with stars above and favorite beverage in hand. Summertime offers many local events like the Bluegill Festival in Birchwood. Enjoy lunch on nearby Stout Island and take the boat to your tee time at Tagalong Golf Course. It is the Northwoods' only lakeside-access golf course.  

      This 3000 square ft estate was built in 1992 on 2 1/2 lake lots on the site of an old cabin. One part that was salvaged from the original cabin is the stone fireplace, that can be seen in the informal dining area. This home has had 2 owners since constructed and both have used it as a retreat only. That is why it shows little wear and tear. Inside the home, the huge log trusses and pine finishes, give the feel of a true log cabin, without the maintenance of a log structure.  

     The decor and motif fits perfectly into the surroundings. Plenty of antiques and collectibles add to the nostalgia and romance of a beautiful retreat. You can not forget you are at the lake. Sit back, relax and enjoy. There is nothing left to do but have fun. There are 3 fireplaces (2 wood burning, 1 gas) and the home has a Steffes heat recover system.
