    Property Description

    Preeminent Forest Lake living on Second Lake — a rare and remarkable offering that seldom comes available. Opportunities to own nearly 2.9 acres of estate-scale land with private lakefront on Forest Lake are extraordinarily uncommon, and this one arrives extensively reimagined, with 140 feet of professionally restored shoreline and sweeping, panoramic north-facing views across the open water. The shoreline tells a story of care. Professionally restored and watershed-district coordinated, it features a sand swim beach, a private dock, and a native pollinator buffer of river birch, dogwood, and prairie plantings, accented by natural fieldstone outcroppings — all over Forest Lake's naturally sandy bottom on one of the area's premier recreational lakes. Lawn rolls uninterrupted from the home to the water; there is no road between you and the lake. Inside, approximately 97% of the home has been newly remodeled and renovated, so you can simply move in and start living. At its heart, a vaulted great room is wrapped in windows that pull the lake indoors, anchored by a classic white-painted brick fireplace and warm hardwood floors. The chef's kitchen is fresh and bright — white shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, stainless appliances, a center island with seating, and a walk-in custom pantry — flowing into a dining space made for gatherings. New yellow birch hardwood graces the entry and kitchen, while the original hardwoods in the living and dining rooms have been beautifully refinished. Upstairs, a brand-new second-story primary suite is a true private retreat: a spacious bedroom, spa-inspired bath with freestanding soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and private water closet, plus a generous walk-in closet. Two additional main-level bedrooms, a full bath, a new half bath, and main-floor laundry complete a layout that simply works. Behind the timeless exterior, everything is essentially new: a high-efficiency two-stage furnace and central air, on-demand tankless water heater, all-new windows and patio door, a new roof, new James Hardie fiber-cement siding, updated electrical, and added insulation — even a new well pump with whole-house sediment filtration, water softener, and iron filtration. This is a classic lakefront home with the soul of its 1901 origins and the systems of new construction. The opportunities only begin there. Approximately 1, 800 square feet of unfinished lower level is a blank canvas awaiting your vision — imagine a spacious family room, media room, additional bedrooms, or bath to expand the finished living space exactly the way you want it. Outside, an elevated deck and patio invite sunset evenings over the water, while a sweeping circular drive welcomes you out front and an even larger lawn unfolds toward the lake behind. Dream bigger still: the detached garage and original structure could give way to a fabulous new three-car garage with ADU above, with potential to explore for a lakeside boat house as well — possibilities to verify with the city and applicable agencies. Minutes from downtown Forest Lake, I-35, top schools, golf, and the lake's boat clubs, yet privately tucked on a parcel this size — this is the rare property where convenience, seclusion, and turnkey quality meet. Years of memories await; a legacy home where the hard work is already done, ready for your family to grow into and treasure for generations.
