(Betty Kline)WINONA, Minn. (FOX 9) - A mansion in Winona — with a tunnel connecting the two buildings and Minnesota's first in-ground swimming pool — is on the market and has recently gone viral after being featured on social media via Zillow Gone Wild.The eight-bedroom, six-bathroom, 8,053-square-foot home, located at 22571 Briarcombe Lane, is on the market for $750,000.
Listing agent Jenny Cisewski told FOX 9 her favorite features of the 1912-built home are the craftsmanship and details, including the thick molding, built-ins, rounded doorways, ceilings, and the stately brick exterior. "This is an amazing property, the sprawling acreage is beautiful," Cisewski said.The property features two separate but similar mansions connected by a tunnel (the prior owner did renovate the second mansion into mostly garage space).
In addition to the numerous bedrooms and bathrooms, the home has a hidden library and a billiard room, among other spaces. The homes are situated on 15 acres adjacent to Signatures Golf Course, with Minnesota's first in-ground swimming pool, a gazebo and spacious greens.
The home does need some work, though, with the listing stating the home has been deteriorating throughout the years and needs someone to bring it back to its "once gracious original character and charm." And Cisewski admits it's not for the light-hearted or do-it-your-selfer.
