Description

A rare find on highly sought-after 1st Lake in Forest Lake, this stunning heritage home is a true lakeside estate with a story to tell. Originally built in 1910, this timeless treasure was thoughtfully expanded in 1997 to blend old-world charm with modern convenience. Nestled on a large, flat .40-acre parcel, the home's exquisite curb appeal and professional landscaping set the stage for spectacular panoramic lake views. With 84 feet of lakeshore and a 100-foot dock included, this is the perfect spot to enjoy the best of lake life. A maintenance-free lakeside deck, rebuilt in 2020 with sleek glass railings, offers a front-row seat to all the lake’s activities. Start your mornings on the wraparound screened-in porch, sipping coffee while waving to neighbors as they stroll into downtown—just minutes away. Inside, the kitchen was beautifully remodeled in 2016, now sharing a two-sided gas fireplace with the lakeside living room and creating a warm, inviting space. The craftsmanship throughout is timeless, from intricate woodwork to thoughtfully designed details. Upstairs, you’ll find 5 spacious bedrooms, including an impressive owner’s suite with a full ensuite bath. The upper level also features a stunning library, complete with a custom bookshelf wall, perfect for showcasing your favorite reads, treasured collections, or family heirlooms. The walk-up attic offers endless potential—convert it into a playroom, art studio, or extra storage. The lower-level rec or family room showcases lake views, while the spacious storage area with a workshop and built-in shelving offers ample functionality. An oversized two-car, attached garage rounds out this extraordinary home. Many of the home's furnishings are negotiable and can be included or sold with the right offer, allowing for a seamless transition. This is more than a house—it’s a lakeside estate with a rich legacy, waiting for it's next owner to write the next chapter. Will it be you?Show Description
