5729 Linden Avenue N, Lake Elmo, MN 55042

$1,300,000

Tucked into the prestigious Sanctuary neighborhood of Lake Elmo — nearly an acre of lush, private grounds and nearly 5,500 SF of custom luxury.

The front porch is the first of many spaces in this home that invites you to slow down.

The foyer gives a first impression that lives up to everything that follows.

The dining room was made for the moments worth gathering for — holidays, celebrations, and every dinner in between.

The built-in buffet keeps everything within reach and beautifully in its place.

A room that works as well on a holiday as it does on a Wednesday... that’s the mark of a great living room.

Here, the backyard views don’t stop at the windows — they become part of the room.

Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the living room in natural light, the gas fireplace anchors the space and the custom built-ins keep everything in its place.

This gourmet kitchen featuring rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a large center island, Brazilian hardwood floors, walk-in pantry, and a beverage fridge for effortless entertaining.

The perfect kitchen has a gravitational pull and this one is no exception.

During the week it’s grab-and-go breakfasts at the island and weeknight dinners on a timeline.

A kitchen that earns its place at the center of daily life — every single day of the week.

On the weekend, chaos gives way to slow mornings, pancakes from scratch, good coffee and everyone still in their pajamas.

The island handles homework and happy hour with equal ease.

Some rooms have a way of becoming your favorite without you even trying.

With the backyard just beyond the glass, it feels less like a room and more like an extension of the outdoors — just with better seating.

The details that make daily life feel effortless — a thoughtfully designed mudroom, laundry room, and powder room all connected and working together seamlessly.

main floor laundry room that every buyer asks for and rarely finds.

Working from home has never looked this good. A private main floor office that makes the commute from the kitchen feel like a luxury.

Tucked conveniently near the foyer — a powder room that makes the right impression on every guest who walks through the door.

The primary suite is many things — a retreat, a refuge, a place to exhale at the end of the day.

The ensuite bathroom is where it earns its reputation.

A jetted tub, walk-in shower, heated tile floors and dual vanities with granite countertops make every morning feel like a hotel stay and every evening feel like a visit to the spa.

Generously sized and thoughtfully designed — the secondary bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility.

A shared bathroom that doesn't feel like one. A separate toilet and shower from the dual vanity means no one is ever waiting their turn — and the storage means everything always has a place.

The thoughtful touches extend to every bedroom — including this upper level suite with its own private bath.

If the main level is where daily life happens, the lower level makes entertaining feel effortless.

Walls of windows, a walkout to the patio, and an open floor plan that makes the yard feel like part of the room.

The family room is warm and welcoming, the kind of space that draws people in and keeps them there.

Fully equipped and beautifully appointed — granite countertops with bar seating, glass-front cabinetry, full fridge, dishwasher, microwave, and abundant storage. Hosting has never looked this good.

The custom bar handles the rest — cocktails are poured, appetizers are served and conversation fills the space.

There’s something about a dedicated theater room that changes the way you watch a movie — grabbing your favorite blanket and settling in, the popcorn, the decision about what to watch.

Currently configured as a workout room — but the flexibility is built right in. An easy conversion to a sixth bedroom, hobby room, or whatever your life calls for.

A comfortable and private lower level bedroom — perfect for guests who appreciate their own space.

A full tub and shower make this lower level bathroom as functional as it is well-appointed.

On warm evenings, the walkout opens to the patio, the party spills outside and just like that, your entertaining space has doubled.

Sheltered from the sun and protected from the rain, it’s the kind of space that invites a comfortable outdoor sofa and a good book or the perfect foundation for an outdoor kitchen that takes summer entertaining to another level.

Step outside and the custom paver patio opens up to sweeping views of the backyard and wetlands beyond.

Beyond the patio, nearly an acre of thoughtfully landscaped grounds unfolds in every direction. — mature trees frame the property, the wetlands and pond create a natural privacy that no fence ever could.

Privacy, nature, and room to breathe — this lot delivers all three. Set against a tranquil pond and wetlands with walking trails winding through the landscape, it's a setting as special as the home itself.

The heated tuck-under garage keeps the cars warm all winter.

The storage room keeps everything else organized and out of the way.

A private garage entrance from the backyard — the kind of thoughtful detail that makes everyday life feel effortless.

This yard changes with every season — brilliant color in the fall, a peaceful snow-covered stillness in the winter and a lush green canvas that comes back to life every spring.
