Tucked away on a serene 2-acre lot in Elk River, 12661 212th Ave NW offers a unique blend of privacy, comfort, and functional luxury. This expansive two-story home invites you to experience a lifestyle surrounded by nature without sacrificing convenience. With wetlands bordering the backyard and no direct rear neighbors, the views are both peaceful and panoramic, providing a picturesque backdrop year-round. Step inside and discover a home that has been thoughtfully designed for everyday living and exceptional entertaining. The heart of the main level is the oversized kitchen, featuring a massive granite island, double ovens, cooktop, and strategically placed work zones for seamless functionality. Whether you're preparing a quick meal or hosting a holiday gathering, this space delivers. An adjacent informal dining area flows into a step-down living room with a cozy corner fireplace, while a formal dining room framed by a bay window captures the beauty of the outdoors. Flexibility abounds with five bedrooms, including a main-level room currently used as a home office with custom built-ins—perfect for remote work or study. Upstairs, the private owner’s retreat offers a peaceful escape, complete with a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom. The lower level continues the home's generous living spaces with a built-in bar and entertainment center ideal for movie nights or game day gatherings. Enjoy endless fun in the recreation area, or unwind in the tiled hot tub room. A fifth bedroom and ample storage add practicality. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Step onto the oversized deck for grilling, dining, or simply lounging in the fresh air. Below, a paver patio with a firepit invites late-night conversations under the stars. The beautifully landscaped yard leads to a 32x40 cemented pole building with a dedicated workshop—ideal for hobbies, storage, or recreational gear. Additional features include hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, six-panel doors, a snack bar, two furnaces, central vac, a security system, clothes chutes, and a three-car garage with epoxy floors with room for a bench area for easy transitions from outdoors. The newly replaced roofs on both the home and the pole building offer peace of mind. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the nearby trail system just a block away, connecting to Woodland Trails Regional Park and extending north toward Zimmerman—perfect for biking, walking, or cross-country skiing. Proximity to shopping, dining, schools, and major roadways means you’re never far from the essentials. This home is ideal for those seeking room to grow, entertain, and enjoy nature while staying connected to the community. From cozy nights by the fire to summer evenings on the deck, life here is meant to be savored.
