Overview

Description

Prime opportunity to purchase an original owner home in the desirable Merrywood neighborhood on Sand Lake in Scandia; these do not come up often! This 4BR, 3BA home sits on a "double lot" of 2 acres with a perfect, gentle elevation to stroll down and enjoy your own 225' of frontage. The panoramic view is spectacular, the area is quiet and nature abounds. Picture watching everything from loons to eagles and deer to the occasional otter, all right from your cozy 3-season porch. The maintenance level on this home over the years is top-notch; take a look and you will see it to be truly "turn-key" move-in condition. Must see in person, but here are a few details in addition to the photos: upper level features include gas fireplace, nice porch addition, updated maintenance-free decking, hickory cabinets, updated full bath, 3/4 primary bath (this one is not updated), cast iron ceiling fans, 3 bedrooms. Lower level features include a wood-burning insert with heatilator, nice and large laundry/hobby room, Kinetico water softener, deep freezer & piano included, updated hvac with heat pump & humidifier, 3/4 bath, 1 bedroom plus an office (could become 5th bedroom with closet). Exterior features include: cedar siding, Chicago brick, Hewitt dock included, heat pump, 3-car heated, attached garage including storage features that will stay. There is a bonus detached garage to store your boat & lawnmower or convert to a workshop/studio! The neighborhood offers great biking and walking (access right into William O'Brien State Park and their trail system nearby!). There is a small voluntary lake association with an annual neighborhood get-together. Sand Lake has no public boat ramp, is full-recreational and has good fishing. Welcome home to Merrywood!
