Welcome to 11440 Avery Drive – a one-of-a-kind luxury home in Inver Grove Heights where elegance, comfort, and entertainment meet.
From the moment you arrive, this property makes a lasting impression. The exterior features a blend of cement board, stucco, and stone accents, providing timeless curb appeal. A concrete driveway and walkway lead you to the newly completed stamped-concrete front porch (2025). The 3-car garage features 8’ tall insulated steel doors with wood-grain accents (2021), automatic openers, built-in storage, and a professionally epoxied floor (2023). Lush landscaping with accent lighting surrounds the home, enhanced by gutters on all sides.
Step into the backyard oasis and discover resort-style living. The 16’ x 30’ heated in-ground pool with stairs, a new filter, sweeper pump, and automatic safety cover is the star of the show. Slate stone patios, a 22’ x 57’ poolside entertaining area, and a cozy stone firepit make this the perfect place for summer gatherings. The outdoor kitchen with a stone base, concrete counters, and a built-in stainless Weber grill takes outdoor dining to the next level. Relax on the 31’ x 13’ Brazilian Ironwood deck, complete with a decorative privacy screen.
Inside, soaring ceilings and premium finishes create an atmosphere of refined luxury. The grand entryway welcomes you with 19’ ceilings, stained glass French doors, black walnut flooring, and a modern chandelier. The living room features another 19’ ceiling, travertine fireplace, walnut built-ins, crown molding, and a dramatic wall of Andersen windows framing views of the pool.
The gourmet kitchen is designed for both chefs and entertainers.

Walnut cabinetry with decorative glass insets, imported granite counters, travertine floors, and a tongue-and-groove walnut ceiling panel with pendant lighting complete the space.
