Property Description


0.32 Acres Lot
Built in 1998
For Sale - Active
1 Units

Tucked at the end of a quiet street, this custom-built lakefront home offers a rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle rooted in nature, peace, and convenience—without the hassle of “up-north” traffic. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a seasonal retreat, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. Enjoy one-level living with a cozy cherry gas fireplace, solid wood trim and doors, custom built-ins, and a spacious kitchen with a walk-in pantry—ideal for cooking and entertaining. A bright sunroom provides a perfect work-from-home space, while the three-season porch invites you to relax with morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The insulated garage offers two direct entries into the home for added ease. The finished walkout basement includes a family room, additional bedroom, a unique firesafe room with air quality control, and is roughed-in for a third bathroom. There’s also ample unfinished space for storage, hobbies, or a workshop. Recent upgrades include a new roof (2022) and new furnace, AC, and air exchanger (2024). Step outside to enjoy your private shoreline on a peaceful, spring-fed lake—perfect for kayaking, canoeing, ice fishing, and wildlife watching. Eagles, pelicans, and wood ducks are frequent visitors. Located just blocks from Historic Downtown Hastings and only minutes from St. Paul, with a nearby marina offering access to the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers. Whether for everyday living or weekend escapes, this is a rare lakeside lifestyle you won’t want to miss.
