Some homes you live in. This one changes how you live. Every evening here ends the same way….the sun sinking west over the water, the lake going gold, the day finally slowing down. That’s not a feature you can add later. It’s the reason people fall in love with this address. Set on 70 feet of prime, west-facing shoreline in arguably the finest position on Forest Lake, this home has been cared for the way people care for something they never intended to leave. Meticulously maintained inside and out. A beautifully landscaped yard that frames the water rather than competing with it. A two-car attached garage plus a detached one-car….three bays for the boat, the toys, the projects. And it sits on a quiet cul-de-sac, where the traffic is measured in neighbors, not cars. Homes like this rarely come available. Not because of what they have…..because of how they make people feel about coming home.
