5350 Winslow Rd, Marion, IA 52302

This custom designed home is located on nearly one acre across the street from Hunter's Ridge Golf course in the LinnMar School District. The home backs up to woods through which a creek meanders, guaranteeing permanency to the surprising amount of privacy afforded by this tranquil setting. The front door opens to a two story entry way with chandelier, large arched window and a massive oak framed mirror (which stays with the home). Walking from the entry under the arch into the Great Room (Living room, dining room and kitchen) one immediately notices the expansive views through the large west facing windows that line the entire wall. Next you will notice that the interior is loaded with beautiful custom matching wood finish throughout the home. This includes oak coiffured ceiling details and built-in book shelves around the gas fireplace in the living room; custom built oak cabinets throughout the kitchen; extra wide oak trim and oak doors throughout the entire home; oak cabinetry in all full bathrooms; and double wide wood blinds on main and lower levels. The large kitchen is a cook or bakers dream, including an extra-large island with granite bar and display cabinet at the end, with pull out drawers all in the lower cabinets. There is a full length pantry, under and over cabinet lighting, with an excessive amount of storage and counter space on which to work. The entry and kitchen have 18 inch ceramic tile flooring, both beautiful and easy to maintain. There are corner windows going up the staircase, as well as in one of the upstairs bedrooms. All bedrooms have full closets, and all main and upstairs rooms have ceiling fans. The Master bedroom has a double walk-in closet, and tall windows capturing the beautiful views over the backyard and into the woods. The Master bath has large jetted soaking tub for de-stressing after a long day. There are ceiling speakers installed in the master bed/bath, throughout the great room and outside on the porch. This system is for sharing surround sound music throughout the home and has individual volume controls at each location. In the basement there is a separate in-ceiling surround sound system that connects to the AV/TV system to create a full theater experience. A central vacuum system throughout the entire house makes housekeeping a cinch. There is a custom built storage shed (fitted with electricity) which has an exterior matching the house. The rear patio has a cement poured platform and is wired for a hot tub. In 2011: ALL NEW roof, siding, and gutters on both the house and storage shed; ALL NEW west facing open-able windows on the house.
