Exquisite custom craftsmanship by Anderson Sorenson sets the tone for this breathtaking estate, where timeless elegance meets modern sophistication. Nestled on a manicured lot with stunning curb appeal, the home is framed by a circular driveway and showcases a prominent peninsula surrounded by lush, professionally designed landscaping. Step inside to a bright and spacious floor plan bathed in natural light, where wide-open rooms reveal serene, treetop views from nearly every angle, and rich cherry millwork and premium finishes lend a warm, refined ambiance throughout. The showstopping great room is crowned by a dramatic two-story, barrel vault ceiling with coffered beams and oversized windows, anchored by a monumental, floor-to-ceiling fireplace made of real stone. For entertaining, host in grand style in the massive formal dining room or gather in the gourmet kitchen, where a two-tier center island provides extra seating, and beautiful cherry cabinetry is accompanied by top-tier appliances. Plus, an informal dining nook is cozy and comfortable with its wall-mounted gas fireplace and more of those priceless views through walls of windows. The main-level Owner’s suite offers luxurious tranquility with its spa-like en suite and a walk-through, walk-in closet complete with a custom organization system; and you’ll be sure to appreciate a functional mudroom off the oversized, three-car garage, which provides laundry, a walk-in closet, and extensive cabinetry and counter space to organize the day’s mess. Upstairs, an open catwalk lends expansive views of the entire home and leads to an enormous office, impressive family room with a gas fireplace flanked by built-ins and access to a balcony deck, two bedrooms with walk-in closets, and a full bath. And if you’re looking for more options to entertain, the lower level is a dream come true with its theater system, incredible stamped concrete gas fireplace, full wet bar with a modern design and bonus game and exercise areas, not to mention two additional bedrooms and baths, perfect for guests. The walkout then leads to a generous patio and maintenance-free deck above in one of the most breathtaking and private backyards you’ve ever seen…and with plenty of room for a pool! Located near Lake Elmo Park Reserve with quick access to I-94 and Woodbury amenities, this home offers unmatched privacy, beauty, and convenience.
