About this home
Dramatic, architecturally significant home on famous Lake Independence in Medina MN. This is the largest lot (nearly an acre) on Lakeshore Ave, leaving plenty of room to add accessory structures, garages, etc. Unique in every way, this home is an entertainer's dream, as well as having lovely, oversize bedrooms for family comfort and stunning views. Featuring light-filled, vaulted rooms throughout, you will be immersed in the views everywhere in the home. And the views are even better now that nearly $100,000 in new windows were installed in July (fully warranted to new owner) A unique feature of this home is the fully finished, modern 1-bedroom apartment in the lower level. With separate, private entrance (as well as interior access) it is suitable for short or long term rental, as well as AirBnB, VRBO, etc.
The large lot is a rarity for a lakeshore property, certainly opening the option for expansion. You won't have to worry about storage, either, as there are two large storage areas in the home that would also serve as workshop or multi-purpose rooms. This beautiful property offers stunning views through the tall, mature trees facing the lake. A truly "up north" feel. A substantial stairway and deck lead to the the private 135' of lakeshore. The large boat dock, and lift are included. Lake Independence is also home to the largest beach and park in Hennepin County. Baker Park is adjacent to the lake, and offers championship golf, biking trails, camping and more only a minute or two from the home.
Of course, the Orono Schools are known as one of the foremost districts in the Metro area. Known both locally and nationally for superior academic achievement, Orono's smaller size is ideal for many families. This home is freshly painted, move-in ready and available for immediate possession. Conveniently located 30 minutes west of Minneapolis, and accessible by either Hwy 12, or Hwy 55.
