Overview

Description

Rare opportunity on Forest Lake’s Gold Coast with 165 feet of south-facing, sand-bottom shoreline set on 2.17 acres. The setting is exceptional, with a wide, level lawn that gently approaches the water, mature trees for privacy, and panoramic lake views that stretch for miles. The outdoor experience sets this property apart. The expansive backyard offers a rare combination of usable space and premium shoreline, ideal for entertaining, recreation, or simply enjoying the lake. A long private dock extends into clear, sand-bottom water, providing excellent swimming and boating. Inside, the home is designed to take full advantage of the setting. The main level is filled with natural light, with expansive windows framing the lake from nearly every room. The great room features vaulted ceilings and a statement fireplace, while the kitchen offers custom cabinetry, Wolf appliances, and a large center island that connects seamlessly to the surrounding living and dining spaces. A vaulted screened porch and maintenance-free deck extend the living area outdoors. The main level also includes a dedicated office and laundry. The main-level primary suite is positioned to capture the views, with direct access to a lakeside balcony. The en suite includes a soaking tub overlooking the water, walk-in shower, dual vanities with a dedicated dressing area, and generous storage. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms are well-sized and thoughtfully positioned, including one with a private en suite, many with lake views. The walkout lower level is expansive and built for both everyday living and entertaining. A full kitchenette with granite island anchors the space, opening to multiple gathering areas including a family room with fireplace, lounge area, and space for recreation or fitness. Large windows and a walkout door keep the level bright and connected to the backyard and lake. Additional features include in-floor heat in the lower level, extensive built-ins, an 18K whole-home generator, irrigation, and an attached 3-car garage. A rare combination of shoreline quality, lot size, and overall setting in one of Forest Lake’s most sought-after locations.
