Property Description

Lakefront living at its finest! Morning light reflecting across the tranquil waters of Forest Lake sets the tone for this beautifully updated waterfront home, where thoughtful design and a quiet special setting create an everyday experience shaped by calm, light, and connection to the water. From the moment you arrive, mature palms and a serene lakeside backdrop establish a sense of privacy and refinement that continues throughout the .44 acre property. Inside, the home unfolds with a graceful balance of scale and intimacy, offering five bedrooms and three full baths arranged to support both relaxed living and elegant entertaining. The main level flows effortlessly from the foyer into formal and informal gathering spaces, connected by two staircases that add architectural interest and convenience. A sunroom wrapped in floor-to-ceiling tongue-and-groove pine, accented by transom windows and French doors, captures the changing light throughout the day and opens seamlessly to the covered porch overlooking the lake. At the center of the home, the kitchen has been thoughtfully elevated to reflect a more modern aesthetic while remaining timeless in design. Refreshed cabinetry, granite surfaces, a tile backsplash, and a central island with gas cooktop create a space that feels polished yet inviting. A walk-in pantry and updated appliances support both everyday living and effortless hosting, while the adjacent dining area, refreshed with a crisp, light palette, offers a refined backdrop for gathering. The great room is both grand and welcoming, defined by a soaring decorative ceiling, custom built-in shelving, and a gas fireplace that anchors the space. Nearby, the primary suite on the main level offers a true retreat, featuring tranquil backyard views, hardwood flooring, and a tray ceiling that adds dimension and warmth. The ensuite bath has been reimagined as a spa-like sanctuary with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. The room is complemented by a generous walk-in closet with built-in shelving. An additional bedroom and a fully renovated beautifully appointed full bath that feels like a private escape, centered around a large glass-enclosed tile shower on the first floor provides flexibility and privacy, while the upper-level hosts three spacious bedrooms and a redesigned full bath. Each bedroom is enhanced by vaulted ceilings and distinctive windows that bring in natural light and architectural character. The versatile fifth bedroom lends itself beautifully as a bonus room, media room, or gentlemen’s retreat. Recent kitchen and bathroom updates throughout the home offer peace of mind while preserving the home’s refined presence. Outdoors, the setting becomes truly exceptional. Positioned on a generous corner lot with direct access to the lake, the fully fenced backyard feels expansive yet intimate, framed by mature landscaping and newly added palms. The covered porch, finished with a wood ceiling and tile flooring, invites lingering mornings and sunset evenings overlooking the water. Just beyond, a newly constructed lakeside dock extends the living experience onto the lake itself, offering a front-row seat and access to the natural beauty that defines Forest Lake which is best known for its beautiful views, fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, and its abundance of birds and nature. The epitome of luxury waterfront living, this is a home where elegance, comfort, and waterfront living converge—best appreciated in person.
