Property Description
A Sövik modern located on a 0.70 acre private cul-de-sac lot near the Mayo Clinic Campus and Folwell School. Some properties are worth buying for the address, some are worth buying for the architecture. This one gives you both. Designed by Edward Sövik. He was named Fellow of the American Institute of Architects in 1967. He designed very few private houses, this is one of them. Comprehensive renovation done in 2009 while leaving Sövik's geometry intact – the rare remodel that respected the house. 1061 Plummer Lane opens completely to the west. The entire rear wall is glass, floor to ceiling, so the main living space stands as one bright room, and the garden becomes part of it. Light crosses the house all day, the glass is all new Pella windows, so the wall performs like a new construction rather than a 1960 single-pane glass. What it opens onto unfolds in layers: patio, lawn & pool then a slope of old oaks rising behind – privacy that is genuinely rare this close to downtown. The outside is tongue-and-grove cedar, interrupted on the south by a massive wall of stone that deliberately mirrors the central chimney, which is the spine of the house, it rises through the plan to become a full stone wall on the second-floor family room & one-of-a-kind wood burning fireplace on the main floor. The stone masses answer each other across the building, a clear expression of Sövik design. The stone carries underfoot: the marble flooring is the same stone that surfaces the Mayo Clinic's own buildings downtown. The front entry was rethought entirely in the 2009 renovation: new windows cut into the east elevation, a double door, a new covered entrance, a cast concrete approach, and recessed lighting, the house now receives you rather than admitting you – and it takes the morning on the east as it takes the afternoon on the west. The property is built to enjoy the summer. A heated saltwater pool with automatic cover & pool shed. The backyard is screened for privacy with lilac bushes & cedar fence. 2 patios, a raised terrace step down to mature landscaping and stone retaining walls, a wooded slope in the back provides privacy on the west. Pre-inspected, neutral decor, in move in condition, tall ceilings, updated throughout, wood floors, 3 fireplaces, 5 bedrooms, 4 baths. Main floor features: an open floor plan with foyer, living room with fireplace, dining room and eat in kitchen. Large primary bedroom suite with bedroom, walk-in closet and full bath. A second bedroom (currently used as a second office), half bath, mudroom, laundry and large 2 car garage. Upper level features: very large family room with a full stone wall, fireplace, lots of built-in cabinetry, a wet bar & large balcony (new railing being installed soon) overlooking the backyard, patios and pool. Large study with built-in cabinetry and fireplace, 3 additional bedrooms, a 3/4 bath and another 3/4 spa bath with sauna, steam and jacuzzi.
