Built for a soon-to-be-empty-nester couple, this French-influenced home is the culmination of the homeowners’ every desire. “This really is the couple’s dream home,” says builder Brent Parent, president of Parent Custom Homes, LLC. “They plan to live in this home for the rest of their lives.”

Nestled just 100 feet from the banks of the Mississippi River in Champlin, this 6,500-square-foot home boasts five-bedrooms, unrivaled river views, and all the elements needed to “age in place,” including a heated driveway and an elevator. “The biggest highlight of this property is the setting, so designing great views from all possible rooms was a priority,” Parent says.

From the gourmet kitchen, custom designed for frequent entertaining and teppanyaki parties, to the lower level with a pub-style bar, pool table, theater, and exercise room, this home overflows with luxury.—C.J.
