About this home

Experience exceptional sunset views from this distinguished Victorian residence situated on North Center Lake. Located on Historic Summit Avenue, the property offers convenient access to local restaurants, parks, and heritage sites in the center of America’s Little Sweden. The architect thoughtfully designed this home to highlight lake vistas with an inviting front porch, a sunroom, a side deck, and a landscaped, park-like yard. Notable architectural features include a butler’s pantry, a secondary staircase, solid oak pocket doors, nine-foot ceilings, a parlor, the grand central staircase, a clawfoot bathtub, decorative fireplaces, and the “lake room” featuring a window seat for optimal viewing. The property has been exceptionally maintained, with more than $125,000 invested in recent upgrades. Improvements include a new roof, leaf guard gutters, modernized windows, siding, shutters, window well covers, renovated side and back porches, a new garage door, NEST system, storm doors, sidewalks, appliances, and shower. Additionally, the humidifier, central air conditioning, and furnace were replaced about 2012. This property includes a 2nd property with 50' on North Center Lake which is known for its exceptional beauty and good fishing. It is part of the Chisago Chain of Lakes with over 5,000 acres. There is a city dock with easy access to restaurants for boaters. This residence presents a rare opportunity to experience refined lakefront living, as enjoyed by the current owners for more than five decades.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
