About this home
Welcome to 1281 Carlson Lake Lane – A Lakeside Retreat Full of Charm and Possibility.
Nestled on the tranquil shores of beautiful Carlson Lake, this lovingly maintained home offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of nature and abundant wildlife. Cherished by the same family for over 50 years, the quality craftsmanship and pride of ownership are evident throughout.
This spacious home features four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with three bedrooms conveniently located on one level. A fourth bedroom on the main floor adds flexibility—perfect for guests, a home office, or a private primary retreat. This room features sliding glass doors that open directly to the deck, offering easy access to the outdoors and scenic lake views.
The main floor also boasts a well-appointed kitchen with stunning lake views, an informal dining area perfect for casual meals, and a formal dining room ideal for hosting gatherings. Two generous living/family rooms provide ample space for both relaxation and entertaining. One of these inviting spaces includes a built-in wet bar and sliding glass doors that open to the deck, creating the perfect setting for indoor-outdoor living. You’ll also find custom built-ins throughout the home, offering both charm and practical storage.
Enjoy the outdoors year-round with an expansive, partially covered front porch—ideal for morning coffee in a private setting surrounded by beautifully maintained landscaping, mature trees, and a stunning lakefront backdrop. The wooded backyard offers a sense of serenity and privacy, making every corner of the property feel like a true retreat.
The home also features a walkout basement, expanding your living space and providing direct access to the backyard and lakefront. There are stairs leading down the gently terraced hill to the water, where raised garden beds were thoughtfully designed and maintained for over 50 years—an enchanting landscape that can be easily revived to its former glory.
The basement includes a finished area ideal for a home office, theater room, or hobby space, with endless potential combining the remaining unfinished space—think family room, home gym, additional bedrooms and bathrooms, or a workshop. Endless possibilities for design or simply just update and finish this already special floor-plan.
Recent updates include newer mechanicals, newer windows, and new insulation—offering comfort, energy efficiency, and peace of mind. Located in the award-winning, highly sought-after School District 196, this home combines natural beauty with top-tier education—an ideal setting for families looking to put down roots.
Whether you’re enjoying lakeside coffee, stepping onto the deck from your bedroom or living room, or gathering around the fire pit under the stars, 1281 Carlson Lake Lane invites you to slow down and savor the magic of life surrounded by nature, mature trees, and the calming waters of Carlson Lake.
