About this property

Great Getaway Enjoy Lake Living ~ 20 minutes from St Paul and Wisconsin

This home has a fireplace and a great front porch to watch sunsets from.
This is a large space for a wonderful family gathering or get together with friends . The kitchen is large for cooking and sets 8 to 10 in the dining room.

The lake is across the street and a city park is 1/ 2 block away . It's only 20 minutes from St. Paul and Wisconsin. You really feel your away from it all and a enjoying a totally different lifestyle. Enjoy! The home was built in 1908, and is newly remolded. The home is surrounded by perennials.

The bathroom on the main floor needed some work. The front patio had not been cleaned lots of bugs laying around other than that. It was a great spot for our family an easy walk to a public beach. It was a really lovely community and neighborhood with close proximity to many family activities.
