Private wooded setting backing to protected historic battlefield trails! Offering over 2,830 square feet of space, discover the perfect blend of lake house charm, flexibility, and modern comfort in this inviting 4 Bedroom, 2-bath home nestled on a secluded 0.7-acre lot in the sought-after Lake of the Woods community. Surrounded by nature and backing to permanently protected battlefield land, the property offers exceptional privacy and tranquil wooded views. Inside, the spacious kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring a large center island with abundant prep space and seating for everyday dining and entertaining. Upstairs, a second-floor office lives much like an additional bedroom, providing valuable bonus space that can easily adapt as a guest room, home office, hobby space, or private retreat (owner is willing to install door if desired!) The walk-out lower level lives more like a first floor than a traditional basement, sitting at grade with windows, natural light, and a door providing direct access to the outdoors. This substantial flex space offers tremendous potential to create an additional in-law suite, entertainment area, home gym, recreation room, studio, or other finished living space tailored to the next owner's needs. Outside, the front deck extends the living space into the peaceful wooded setting, creating an inviting spot to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the surrounding nature. Major updates include a new roof & gutters+gutter gaurds (2019), renovated bathrooms (2023), and water heater (2023), adding valuable peace of mind for the next owner. Rich in character and offering an unusual amount of usable and adaptable space, this home works equally well as a primary residence or weekend lake retreat. Located within the gated, amenity-rich Lake of the Woods community, residents enjoy access to two lakes, beaches, swimming pools, an 18-hole golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, equestrian center, clubhouse dining, walking trails, parks, and a vibrant calendar of year-round events. More than a home, this is a property with room to make it your own, surrounded by nature, recreation, and lasting serenity.
