Elko New Market, MN

Set atop the highest point in all of Scott County, this custom Twin Home reimagines what comfortable, single-level living can truly feel like. Say hello to Pete's Hill, the South Metro's newest and most exclusive community, where woodsy seclusion and intelligent, accessible design come together just thirty miles south of downtown Minneapolis. Boasting four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a generous 3,463 square feet, this residence was crafted by Johnson-Reiland, a Parade of Homes winning builder who clearly obsesses over the finer points. Universal Design sits at the very heart of the home, which translates to zero entry steps and a wheelchair-friendly flow that never once compromises on beauty or warmth. Inside, you will find rich tongue-and-groove oak hardwood flooring, soaring vaulted ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows that capture those uninterrupted treetop views in every direction. The kitchen is undeniably the star of the show, centered around a roomy island and outfitted with KitchenAid stainless steel appliances. Thoughtful drop-down and pull-out cabinet accessories tuck storage exactly where you reach for it, proving that smart design lives in the details. Two gas fireplaces lend cozy ambiance throughout the home, while a four-season porch, a balcony deck, a covered front porch, and a spacious twelve-by-twenty-four patio invite you to savor the outdoors no matter the season. Downstairs, a finished flex room and a wet bar make hosting friends or unwinding solo equally effortless. Quality reveals itself at every turn, from the architectural shingled roof and paneled wood doors to the vinyl-over-wood windows and the polished tile flooring. Professional landscaping and a full irrigation system keep the grounds looking sharp, and because the homeowners association handles maintenance and sanitation, your weekends stay gloriously free for the things you actually enjoy. City utilities are connected and ready, and blazing-fast fiber optic internet keeps modern life running without a hitch. Everything here feels pristine, flawlessly maintained, and genuinely better than new construction, which means you can simply move in and start living. The location only sweetens the deal. You are less than two miles from the I-35 freeway, a short hop to Lakeville's shops, grocery stores, restaurants, and nightlife, and firmly inside the coveted Lakeville School District. And don't miss the Pete's Hill Park entrance that sits just steps away, perfect for morning stroll or letting the dog stretch its legs, and a nearby fuel and convenience stop, handles those last-minute errands with ease. What makes this home special is not just any single feature, but the way it all works together. The natural privacy of the wooded setting, the elevated perch with its commanding views, the accessibility built to let you age in place gracefully, and the high-end finishes that elevate everyday routines into small pleasures. It is the rare property that balances convenience, low-maintenance living, and refined style without asking you to choose between them. Opportunities like this rarely linger in such a sought-after community. Schedule your private tour today and discover why life at the top, living in your forever Twin Home, simply feels better.
