Ask a questionAbout Michael Vickerman
Born and raised in the area, I currently live full time in Los Angeles where I write and produce movies. My parents live in the same neighborhood as this house, my brothers and sisters all live in the area, as well as friends I've know since kindergarten, so I get back and stay as much as I can. This terrific little house rejuvenates my soul and I'm sure it will rejuvenate yours as well.
Michael Vickerman purchased this House in 2013
Why Michael Vickerman chose Maple Plain
With my parents living just up the street, I had eyed this house through the years as I spent many a fun times at the adjacent park with my son and his cousins, watching them all grow up through the years. When it was available, I quickly snatched it up, then spent a good part of two years renovating it to become the vision of a true lake house that I always knew it could be. I've rented it off and on to friends and family and have decided to make it open to the public. It may sound silly, but there have been so many good times spent here that, quite honestly, I want to keep sharing it with others.
What makes this House unique
The biggest selling point for this house are the views - even in winter. The large bay window in the master bedroom is second only to the same size window downstairs where most of your time will be spent. One unique aspect of this house is that the kitchen is downstairs - which is exactly where you want it to be while entertaining in the backyard. The boat house deck is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the lake views. Overall, this property just has that great feeling that you are in a home, not just a house.
