Welcome to this iconic Green Lake property, Southwest Minnesota’s premier lake destination! This charming 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is packed with character, some modern upgrades, and a one-of-a-kind surprise. Inside, on the main level you’ll be greeted by real maple hardwood flooring and a cozy, year-round sunporch—perfect for soaking up lake views no matter the season. A spacious addition serves as the primary bedroom, enclosed by French Doors. A den, providing work-from-home flexibility, kitchen, dining area and full bath round off the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find a bathroom and three more bedrooms, including one that walks out to a private balcony overlooking Green Lake! This home blends character with thoughtful updates like LP Smart Siding, some triple-pane windows, and smart thermostats for modern comfort and efficiency. The lowest level features an additional bathroom, laundry area, storage, and something you’ll rarely find—an underground tunnel that leads directly to a lakeside boathouse, a part of Spicer’s local lore. The boathouse rooftop doubles as a lakeside deck, offering breathtaking sunrise views over Green Lake. The backyard is complete with a stone fireplace and patio area while the tandem 2-stall garage provides plenty of space for your vehicles and lake toys. The dock and many furnishings are able to be included, giving you the chance to move in and enjoy lake life from day one. Located near Spicer's parks, bike trail, restaurants, shopping and golf, the location is ideal. Be sure to take the 3D Virtual Tour for a better idea of the layout and call to schedule your personal tour!
