720 Timber Ln Saint Paul, MN 55126

Set at the very end of Timber Lane behind private brick-pillar entrance markers, this custom built brick-front home rests on over two wooded acres on the shore of Lake Emily, a private lake shared only by its residents. Bordered by 10+ acres of city-owned green space, the property offers a natural buffer and a level of seclusion that’s nearly impossible to find in Shoreview. Inside, thoughtful craftsmanship is evident with custom maple kitchen cabinetry, custom cherry cabinetry on the walk-out lower level, maple trim throughout, and thoughtfully placed storage: mudroom drop zone, walk-in pantry, art room, office built-ins, and a primary closet scaled for two. The primary bath was fully remodeled in 2025 with dual maple vanities, a makeup station, granite counters, a water room, freestanding soaker tub, a heated tile floor, and a fully tiled frameless-glass shower. The walk-out lower level adds a steam shower, a wet bar with a built-in entertainment wall, and space to add a fourth bedroom, if desired. The fourth bedroom is currently used as a den, and an additional bedroom could be added in the lower level storage room. 2026 updates include new maintenance-free decking, an updated screened porch, epoxy garage flooring, and a new 75-gallon water heater; 2018 brought stamped-concrete driveway and patios, an over six figure investment. New furnaces, AC units, air exchanger and whole-home humidification, a new roof, and full stucco replacement also rounded out 2021. Vaulted foyer, 10 foot ceilings, three bedrooms on the upper level, tinted window package, a secondary entrance from the lower level to the three-car garage; there are too many thoughtful details to list. A setting this private is rarely found, and even more rarely available. Here, you can enjoy the feeling of a private retreat without sacrificing the convenience of Shoreview’s parks, trails, lakes, restaurants, and easy access to both downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul.
