9745 Whistling Valley Road

Perched high on a hill in a private Lake Elmo enclave, this extraordinary custom-built estate spans nearly 10,000 finished square feet, offering six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and an elevator servicing every level. Designed with uncompromising craftsmanship, the home seamlessly blends refined luxury with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The entry impresses with custom double doors opening into a soaring two-story great room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame serene views and a dramatic stone fireplace anchors the space. Rich hickory floors, exquisite millwork, and ten-foot ceilings flow throughout the main level, enhancing the sense of openness and light. At the heart of the home, the chefs kitchen is a masterpiece-custom Alder cabinetry, granite countertops, high-end Thermador appliances, and a ten-foot island with breakfast bar create the perfect hub for connection. Adjacent, the dining area transitions effortlessly to a cedar-lined sunroom with gas fireplace, three-season enjoyment, and direct access to the back deck. The main-level office is a study in elegance, framed by French doors, a full wall of Alder built-ins, and wood-beam ceiling accents. Nearby, the mudroom and heated three-car garage combine convenience with design. A private mother-in-law suite offers complete independence with its own entrance, garage, kitchen, living room, bedroom, 3/4 bath, laundry, and private deck. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a cedar tray ceiling, double-sided fireplace, spa bath with soaking tub and rain shower, and a custom walk-in closet with a center island. Three additional bedrooms, each with built-ins and attached bathrooms, plus a fully equipped upper-level laundry, offer comfort and function. The lower level is an entertainers dream: heated floors, wet bar, tiered home theater, recreation room, wine cellar, and spa-like bath with steam shower provide endless options for enjoyment. Walkout access to the backyard connects to an in-ground pool, pool house with powered screens, fireplace, grill and massive island for gathering. Every detail-from powered shades and integrated sound to custom woodwork and water purification-reflects thoughtful design. This estate offers a rare combination of elegance, practicality, and resort-style living, creating a home that inspires and impresses at every turn.
