1836 Annika Drive N

Dream opportunity to buy and relish life each day living on The Royal Club Golf Course in the highly prestigious section of custom-built homes at The Royal Club in Lake Elmo. This remarkable one-story single-family home creation by TJB Homes rests on perhaps the best golf course lot in the development, offering panoramic south and west-facing panoramic views of the 17th & 18th holes of The Royal Golf Club, the clubhouse, and Horseshoe Lake. Stepping inside, you'll be immediately drawn to views of the course and lake through a bank of oversized windows in the beam-adorned 16' high vaulted great room, centered on an impressive floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. A stunning kitchen anchors the east side of the home and flows into a vaulted four-season porch finished with an "up North" feel, with pine tongue-and-groove ceilings and walls, another stone fireplace, and 4-track porch stacking windows, for easy management of the seasonal temperature changes. An expansive patio flows out from the four-season porch, enhanced by professional landscaping and boulder retaining walls, all smartly designed to unify seamlessly with the golf course. Walls of windows run the full length of this home, further enhancing the formal, yet comfortable dining room and the main floor owner's suite with coffered ceiling. The expansive owner's suite is served by a gorgeous owner's suite bath with in-floor heat, sectioned vanity, separate shower, air-driven jetted tub, and a professionally designed walk-in closet system. A second main-floor bedroom offers flexibility for guests, and the rear foyer just off the three-car insulated garage with electric car charger is served by a laundry room, walk-in closet, and storage lockers. The lower level is a special treat here, with built-in wet bar, barn door enclosed entertainment system, and a four-seat bar height seating space. Two bedrooms, a 3/4 bath, sauna, and two storage areas complete this level, all served by in-floor heat. As one of the first golf course lot home on the preferred north side of The Royal Club available on a resale basis, this home is a rare and special opportunity for any discerning buyer.
