Overview

Description

Set high on a hill in a private Lake Elmo neighborhood, this extraordinary custom-built estate offers nearly 10,000 finished square feet with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and an elevator serving every level. Designed with uncompromising craftsmanship, the home blends refined luxury with a warm, inviting atmosphere, creating a residence as functional as it is breathtaking. The entry opens through custom double doors into a dramatic two-story great room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame serene views and a striking stone fireplace anchors the space. Hickory wood floors, rich millwork, and ten-foot ceilings add timeless elegance throughout the main level. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is both stunning and practical, featuring Alder cabinetry milled on site, granite countertops, double ovens, and Thermador appliances. A ten-foot island with seating encourages connection, while a walk-in pantry and beverage station add convenience. The adjacent dining room flows into a three-season cedar sunroom with fireplace and deck access, ideal for year-round enjoyment. A private mother-in-law suite offers complete independence with its own entrance, garage, full kitchen, laundry, and deck—perfect for guests or residents. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with an Alder wood tray ceiling, double-sided fireplace, spa-inspired bath, and expansive custom closet. Three additional bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with private bathrooms, plus a nearby laundry room, complete the upper level. The lower level is an entertainer’s dream with heated floors, a full bar, tiered theater, recreation room with fireplace, 700+ bottle wine cellar, steam shower spa, second laundry room, and walkout access to the pool deck. Outdoors, a resort-worthy pool and pool house offer soaring cedar ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, grill, powered screens, and built-in speakers. Every detail, from powered window shades to whole-home water purification, reflects thoughtful design and elevated living. This estate is more than a home—it’s a rare opportunity to experience everyday life as extraordinary.
