440 S Torning St Tioga, ND 58852

Some homes stand apart. This one stands alone. Welcome to 440 S Torning Street, an extraordinary custom residence unlike anything else in Tioga. Grand in presence yet remarkably comfortable, this is simply luxury on an exceptional scale--a home where quality was never an afterthought, space was never wasted, and nearly every detail reflects the care and intention behind its creation.
From the stately full-brick exterior and beautifully established grounds to the soaring interiors beyond the front door, there is an unmistakable sense that you have arrived somewhere special.
Inside, dramatic ceiling heights, abundant natural light, substantial millwork, locally crafted custom cabinetry, built-ins and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces give the home a character entirely its own. At the heart of it all, expansive living and dining areas create an effortless setting for everything from quiet evenings to unforgettable celebrations, with a natural gas fireplace bringing warmth to the impressive main living space.
The kitchen was created to be both beautiful and hardworking, surrounded by extensive custom cabinetry and generous workspace with granite, electric cooktop and built-in appliances. Nearby, the dedicated main-floor laundry offers cabinetry, a utility sink and built-in cubbies--one of many examples of how function was intentionally incorporated into the home's design. Your main-floor primary suite is a retreat unto itself, with a tray ceiling, engineered hardwood, two separate closets and a spacious private bath featuring quartz, dual sinks, a grand jetted tub with ceramic surround, separate shower and skylight.
And then, the floor plan begins to reveal just how special this custom home truly is.
Two separate staircases lead to two completely distinct upper-level spaces, creating remarkable privacy without sacrificing connection. One opens to a two-bedroom retreat with Jack & Jill bathrooms featuring a shower, and each bedroom has a sink for everyday convenience. This level also includes built-in workspaces, generous storage, and an inviting reading nook/lounge--a place to settle in with a book, work quietly, or simply enjoy a space away from the main living areas.
Just off the laundry room, a completely separate staircase leads to an additional wing serving as an upper guest suite all its own. Tucked away from the other bedrooms, this charming retreat offers guests a level of privacy rarely found in a traditional floor plan.
The lower level adds yet another dimension, with an additional guest suite, built-in office, multiple dedicated storage rooms and substantial flexible space. An unfinished room already housing exercise equipment is ideally suited for a private fitness studio, wellness space, hobby room or whatever best complements your lifestyle.
And while the interior is exceptional, the grounds may be every bit as irreplaceable.
Decades of care have created an established setting that new construction simply cannot reproduce overnight. Mature trees--including apple, linden, aspen and weeping willow--frame expansive lawns and beautifully maintained landscaping. An additional lot adds even more breathing room, while a private well supports the grounds.
Step outside and the home transitions naturally into outdoor living, with a substantial entertaining area designed for dining, conversation and long summer evenings. A coordinating brick outbuilding adds useful storage, while the attached garage is heated with natural gas.
Everywhere you look, there is evidence of forethought: generous storage where you need it, private spaces where they matter, gathering areas that invite you to stay, and architectural details that give the home an identity that cannot be replicated.This home wasn't built to follow a trend; it was custom-built to endure beyond them. It offers the luxury of space, privacy, and craftsmanship-a Tioga original--a landmark residence with a story, a presence and a caliber entirely its own.
