Ridge Creek Custom Homes aims to develop a style that defines the family-friendly custom home, says co-owner Rob Eldridge. This home is an embodiment of it. “We wanted to create something showy and sophisticated, but also very livable,” he says. It’s meant to be a beautiful space to entertain guests, but also a comfortable place for you, your kids, and your dog.

Swank shelter

Speaking of entertaining, the lower level is the highlight here. It includes a billiards area, wet bar, poker table, 60-inch plasma television, and an all-sports simulator—a perfect place to play golf, soccer, or football all winter long. In the kitchen, a stunning freestanding custom walnut hutch complements gleaming granite countertops, enameled cabinetry, and American walnut flooring. Other features stand out, too, from the seven-piece enameled door and window trim to the spa-like master suite with a unique sunken shower.

A place to call home

This is a setting that many Twin Citians would consider ideal: a brand-new home in a shady, quiet neighborhood a block from Lake Minnetonka and 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. “It’s a home that works well for all families,” Eldridge says. “It’s a home that doesn’t feel too large…but it’s also one you can grow into.”
