1972 Annika Dr N Lake Elmo, MN 55042

Elegance meets resort-style living at 1972 Annika Drive, a lightly lived-in showcase home poised along the fairways of Lake Elmo's acclaimed Royal Golf Club. Curb appeal begins with shake-style siding, stone accents and an oversized heated three-car garage, then continues inside where wide-plank hardwoods, crisp millwork and coffered ceilings frame panoramic golf-course views. An entertainer's kitchen anchors the main level, highlighted by an impressive Wolf/Sub-Zero appliance suite, Cambria (quartz) island seating four, soft-close cabinetry and a walk-in pantry. Dining and great-room spaces flow effortlessly to a vaulted, fully screened seasonal porch outfitted with a built-in gourmet grilling station and vent hood-perfect for year-round cookouts-plus an adjacent open-air deck, ideal for morning coffee above the greens. The main-floor primary retreat enjoys those same long fairway vistas, a spa bath with oversized tile shower, freestanding soaking tub and custom wardrobe closet, while a front study/flex room and mud-laundry wing complete the level. Downstairs, the walk-out lower level rivals the main: a stone-faced fireplace anchors a spacious family room, and a granite wet bar with full-size appliances and center island invites game-day gatherings. Two generous guest bedrooms, a stylish bath, a dedicated home gym and a large storage room round out the space. Step outside to an expansive paver patio with gas fire pit, covered seating and meticulously landscaped grounds that transition seamlessly to manicured fairways. Additional highlights include Andersen windows, zoned HVAC, in-ceiling speakers controlled by Sonos, security system and association-maintained lawn and snow care for true lock-and-leave ease. Royal Golf Club residents enjoy exclusive access to the community fitness center and pool and miles of walking trails. Private memberships are available to your backyard championship course co-designed by Annika Sörenstam and Arnold Palmer. Whether you're an avid golfer, a social entertainer or simply crave refined simplicity, this turn-key residence delivers an unparalleled lifestyle in one of the East Metro's most coveted addresses-all within minutes of Stillwater, Woodbury and the St. Croix Valley.
