Oakridge is a 3,848-square-foot custom home on 5 acres in Afton, Minnesota, in bluff country east of Woodbury, with valley views.
The home is designed for a family that hosts often. The single-level floor plan supports the way the family lives, with the primary suite, family rooms, and entertaining areas all flowing on one floor. A covered north-facing porch holds the cooler afternoon shade.
Address kept private until completion.
