Tucked away on a beautiful, private 1.82-acre wooded lot, this exceptional custom-designed home in Zimmerman offers a rare combination of space, thoughtful craftsmanship, indoor comfort, and outdoor serenity. Meticulously maintained and designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence delivers the kind of versatility and privacy that is increasingly hard to find. From the moment you arrive, the quality and attention to detail are apparent. Hardie board siding, cultured stone accents, Manor House garage doors, stamped and colored concrete walkways, patios and porch, extensive landscaping, and a peaceful outdoor water feature create an inviting first impression and set the tone for what awaits inside.

Step through the spacious foyer and you're greeted by a soaring vaulted ceiling and beautiful Cumaru hardwood floors that extend throughout much of the main level. The open, comfortable feel of the home makes it easy to imagine both quiet mornings and gatherings with family and friends. 

The inviting living room is designed for relaxation, featuring a cozy gas fireplace framed by a beautiful stone surround and complemented by built-in shelving. Whether you're settling in for a quiet evening or hosting guests, this space provides a warm and welcoming centerpiece for the main level.

The well-appointed kitchen combines functionality with plenty of room to gather. A large center island provides additional workspace and casual seating, while abundant cabinetry and generous countertops offer excellent storage and preparation space. Stainless steel appliances include a gas range and double oven, making the kitchen particularly well suited for everything from weeknight meals to holiday entertaining. A convenient pantry adds even more storage.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room features patio doors that open toward the backyard and landscaped grounds. The existing layout also offers the opportunity to create a future deck, providing even more potential for enjoying the wooded surroundings and extending the home's entertaining space outdoors.

A dedicated main-level office adds valuable flexibility for working from home, studying, managing household tasks, or creating a hobby or creative space.

The spacious primary suite provides a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. A beautiful tray ceiling adds architectural character, while the oversized walk-in closet offers abundant storage. The private primary bathroom is designed for comfort and relaxation, featuring dual sinks, a separate shower, and a jetted tub. It's a space that feels both functional and restorative—a perfect place to unwind.

The finished lower level significantly expands the home's living possibilities. A spacious family room provides room to spread out, relax, watch a movie, entertain, or create a dedicated recreation area. A second kitchen adds an exceptional layer of versatility to the lower level. Whether used for entertaining, extended-stay guests, multigenerational living, a game-day setup, or simply as additional convenience, this feature gives the home tremendous flexibility. Another cozy fireplace creates an inviting gathering space, while in-floor heating in the lower level and bathroom provides welcome warmth and comfort during Minnesota's colder months. With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, combined with the expansive finished lower level, this home offers plenty of room to accommodate changing needs over time.

Perhaps one of the home's most compelling features is its setting. Situated on 1.82 acres of wooded land, the property offers a level of privacy and connection to nature that is difficult to replicate in more densely developed neighborhoods.The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped, creating a beautiful transition between the home and the surrounding woods. Stamped and colored concrete walkways, patios, and porch areas provide attractive outdoor gathering spaces, while the peaceful water feature adds an extra element of tranquility.

Imagine enjoying your morning coffee surrounded by mature trees, hosting summer gatherings on the patio, or simply stepping outside at the end of the day to enjoy the quiet of your own private retreat. The three-car garage, complete with distinctive Manor House garage doors, provides plenty of room for vehicles, recreational equipment, storage, and all the extras that come with enjoying an acreage property.

This property is also part of the Woodland of Livonia HOA, giving residents access to approximately five miles of paved trails. The trail system provides a safe and convenient way to enjoy the outdoors right within the community. Whether you're biking with the family, heading out for a morning jog, walking the dog, or simply taking a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood, the trails make it easy to incorporate outdoor recreation into everyday life. It's a wonderful complement to the privacy of the home itself: a peaceful wooded property where you can enjoy your own space, paired with community amenities that encourage getting outside and staying connected.

Located approximately 45 minutes northwest of the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro area, Zimmerman continues to attract buyers looking for more space, a welcoming community, and a small-town atmosphere without giving up convenient access to the Twin Cities. Zimmerman is a rapidly growing community while still maintaining the character and feel that make small-town living so appealing. Residents can enjoy a quieter pace, more room to breathe, and easy access to outdoor recreation, while the Twin Cities remain within a manageable drive for work, entertainment, shopping, and larger-city amenities.

This isn't simply a home with impressive finishes and abundant square footage. It's a property thoughtfully designed around comfort, flexibility, privacy, and the enjoyment of everyday life. From the vaulted foyer and Cumaru hardwood floors to the stone fireplace, beautifully appointed kitchen, spacious primary suite, finished lower level, second kitchen, and heated floors, the interior provides an impressive range of spaces for both everyday living and entertaining.

Outside, the 1.82-acre wooded setting, extensive landscaping, peaceful water feature, generous patio and porch areas, and three-car garage create an equally compelling outdoor experience.

If you've been searching for a custom home that offers exceptional space, privacy, thoughtful design, and a true connection to nature—while still providing access to the Twin Cities—this Zimmerman property deserves a closer look. It is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds: the privacy and beauty of an acreage setting, the amenities of an established community, and the small-town lifestyle of Zimmerman.
