Property Description

From the moment you arrive, you can feel it, a home made for living on your terms. This 4 bed, 2 bath home paired up with a coveted 3 stall garage/shop sits on a roomy .82 acre lot that offers spaces that flow effortlessly, a yard that beckons for fun and relaxation and details designed to make life easier, brighter and more enjoyable. Just down the road within walking distance is Rotary Beach and the public boat launch giving you access to Le Homme Dieu and the Chain of Lakes arguably some of the best waters in all of Minnesota at your fingertips. This home invites you to live as much outdoors as you do inside. The yard becomes a natural extension of the home. Whether it’s hosting summer barbecues, creating a garden oasis, or simply letting the kids or pets explore freely, the space here adapts to whatever your lifestyle demands. Inside, the home reflects the same sense of care and intention. Thoughtfully updated, it balances modern improvements with a comfortable design. The main level features two bedrooms and two updated bathrooms, offering both convenience and functionality with a large living room. The newly finished lower level adds flexibility with two additional bedrooms and an inviting family room. Significant updates have already been completed including new windows, siding, paint, plumbing, ductwork, landscaping and spray foam insulation providing efficiency, comfort, and long-term peace of mind. For those who need space beyond the home, the 30'x 50' detached 3 stall garage/shop stands out as a rare and highly functional feature. This is more than a place to live, it’s a place to gather, recharge, and fully enjoy the lifestyle that surrounds you!
