About this home

Tucked within the premier Sanctuary neighborhood, this exceptional home by Landmark Custom Homes blends timeless architecture with luxury finishes, thoughtful design, and effortless main-level living. From the moment you step inside, the quality and craftsmanship are unmistakable. The main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring soaring ceilings with rich wood beams, expansive gathering spaces, and a stunning two-sided stone fireplace that anchors the living and hearth rooms. The gourmet kitchen offers a large center island, custom cabinetry, and seamless flow into the adjoining family room and an incredible four-season porch, complete with a vaulted beamed ceiling, shiplap accents, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The home features three main-level bedrooms, including a beautifully updated Jack-and-Jill bath and a private owner’s suite tucked into its own wing. The suite feels like a true retreat with spa-inspired finishes, a generous dressing room, and direct access to the laundry room for added convenience. The walkout lower level was built for entertaining, offering a spacious family and recreation room with a gas fireplace, an impressive walk-behind wet bar, theater room, exercise room with steam shower, two additional bedrooms, and an updated full bath. Step outside to your own private backyard oasis surrounded by mature landscaping, featuring an in-ground pool, Phelps hot tub, expansive patio, and fire pit area designed for relaxing summer evenings and hosting guests. Additional recent improvements include freshly painted exterior surfaces along with a new pool liner installed laster year and cover, a whole house water filtration system and RO system and brand new washer and dryer. All of this in an ideal location just minutes from downtown Stillwater, the scenic St. Croix River Valley, and convenient access to the Twin Cities.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
