Mendota Heights Home Priced at $950,000 Featured in Star Tribune
Barb Rose and Jeff McCloskey are selling the rambler they (heavily) remodeled.
A Mendota Heights home for sale got top billing in the Star Tribune's weekend "Homegazing" feature under the headline "You can have this remodeled Mendota Heights lake home for $950,000":
"Extreme makeovers don’t get much more dramatic than the one Jeff McCloskey and Barb Rose undertook in their home. ... Most of the house hadn’t been updated in years. It still had vintage pink carpeting and a small kitchen with layers of linoleum. The couple intended to remodel the house slowly, in stages. 'But when I started pulling permits, it made more sense to do the whole thing,' Rose said.
"So they tackled the entire house, gutting it and rebuilding it to create a modern open floor plan filled with architectural antiques and other salvage materials, in addition to tons of stone. It took almost a year and a half, during which the couple lived in the house, grilling food and eating out when they had no kitchen, and taking showers at a health club and using the Porta Potty in the park next door when they had no bathroom."
