Lake Elmo, MN 55042 721 Juniper Avenue N

Some homes check the boxes; others leave an impression long after you've walked through the front door. This exceptional Savona neighborhood home is one of those rare properties. Originally built by Lennar, the current owners have elevated nearly every space with modern upgrades, designer finishes, and a level of style that feels far more custom than production-built. Located in Lake Elmo and just a short walk to Lake Elmo Park Reserve, you'll enjoy easy access to shopping, dining, entertainment, and an easy commute via I-94. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal grabs your attention with stone accents, professional landscaping, architectural detailing, a welcoming front porch, and permanent holiday lighting. The finished 3-car garage features epoxy-coated floors and abundant storage, while a new roof was installed in 2024 for added peace of mind. Inside, nearly 4,700 finished square feet are filled with natural light thanks to windows at every turn. The open-concept layout creates effortless flow between the kitchen, living room, and formal dining space, while newer LVP flooring throughout the main and upper levels—including the staircase— adds warmth, durability, and continuity. Pinterest-worthy details are everywhere, including board and batten accents, shiplap walls, built-in cabinetry, designer wallpaper, and a cohesive color palette that gives the home a polished yet welcoming feel. The main level office features custom built-ins, while the living room centers around a stacked-stone gas fireplace. The kitchen is the heart of the home with quartz countertops, extensive enameled cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a range and wall oven, a walk-in pantry, and an additional butler's pantry that is both stylish and functional. Just off the garage, the mudroom is designed for real life with cubbies, hooks, a bench, and an additional walk-in storage closet complete with more built-ins. Upstairs you'll find four bedrooms, including an impressive primary suite with tray ceiling, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, oversized tiled shower, and double vanity. A full Jack-and-Jill bath with dual sinks serves two secondary bedrooms, while the upper-level laundry room is as beautiful as it is functional with built-in cabinetry, folding counter, utility sink, and additional storage. An oversized walk-in linen closet adds even more convenience. In the finished walkout lower level, you’ll find a spacious family room, game area, bar space with seating, exercise room, fifth bedroom with walk-in closet, and an additional bathroom. Not only is the home itself impressive, but prepare to step outside and fall in love. The backyard feels like a private resort, anchored by a heated in-ground saltwater pool with automatic cover, diving board, and depths ranging from 4 to 9 feet. A huge maintenance-free deck, modern screened gazebo, hot tub, stamped concrete patio, multiple gathering spaces, built-in playset, and under-deck storage shed create endless opportunities for entertaining, relaxing, and making memories. This is more than a beautiful house; it's a home that has been carefully crafted, thoughtfully improved, and designed to be enjoyed every single day.
