Beautiful and distinctive, this expansive home sits on a spacious cul-de-sac lot offering wooded privacy, exceptional square footage, and timeless architectural character. Originally built for Rose Totino—renowned for her contributions to the frozen-pizza industry and her lasting community impact—this residence incorporates warm Italian-inspired details reflective of her heritage and vision. A rounded turret entry featuring two colorful stained-glass windows, a curved built-in bench, a wood door with decorative glass, warm-toned walls, and a patterned tile floor welcomes you inside. The foyer opens to the bright front living room with soaring ceilings, large picture windows topped with stained-glass accents, elegant wall paneling, and warm hardwood floors that fill the space with natural light. Just beyond is the sunken family room, where a curved stone fireplace with raised hearth, wood floors, brick accents, and built-ins creates an inviting gathering space. This room opens to the charming brick bar with classic arched openings, wood cabinetry, wine storage, counter seating, and a curved brick wall—bringing warm, old-world character to the heart of the home. The adjoining kitchen features tile flooring, updated countertops, a large island with seating, a planning desk, and a walk-in butler’s pantry with prep sink, oven, and warming drawer. Within the kitchen area, beside the dining space and adjacent to the bar, is the beautiful brick alcove inspired by the owner’s Italian upbringing—designed to bring the warmth of traditional European homes into the space with its arched opening, rich brickwork, and inviting hearth with built-in benches. The open dining area features large windows and warm wood floors, offering seamless flow into the four-season porch and views toward the brick arched bar—an inviting setting for everyday meals and entertaining. The dining area also provides direct access to the screened porch, ideal for indoor-outdoor living. The formal dining room enjoys views of the Italian-inspired alcove. A few steps up, the warm four-season porch features wood-clad walls, a vaulted beam ceiling, brick flooring, a full wall of built-ins with countertop, skylights, and windows framing peaceful backyard views—an inviting year-round retreat. Sliding doors lead to a deck that wraps around the screened porch. A half-level down are the rear entry, laundry room, a walk-in closet, a three-quarter bath, and a wood-lined hot tub room with brick flooring and direct patio access. The elegant circular staircase—located just off the front entry—leads to the turret-style office with wrap-around windows. The traditional staircase off the kitchen leads to the main upper bedroom level. The upper level includes a spacious family room with kitchenette, four bedrooms on this level, and two baths—one on each side of the family room for convenience. The top floor features a fifth bedroom with its own ensuite bath, along with the generous primary suite, which offers a walk-in closet, separate vanity area, and private bath. The lower level includes two large recreation rooms, including a mirrored flex area ideal for fitness, hobbies, or play, along with abundant storage. Exterior highlights include the turret, copper roof accents, screened porch, and a four-car garage. The home is ideally located near Moore Lake Park, Springbrook Nature Center, shopping, and major commuting routes, within the highly regarded Mounds View School District.
