Pulaski Lake Shores
About this home
Live the lake life you’ve always dreamed of in this beautifully maintained, custom-built modified 2-story home, known to many as “The Light House”, on popular Lake Pulaski! Tucked away at the end of a quiet, non-busy street in the ultra-private northeast corner of Little Pulaski, this property offers the ultimate retreat. Enjoy the peace and privacy of a quieter area with fewer waves from jet skis and boats—making it the absolute perfect spot for paddle boarding, kayaking, or serene bay fishing, while still offering direct access to main-lake activities. Situated on a spectacular west-facing lot just 30 minutes from the Twin Cities, the property features a gorgeous tree-lined boundary with a peaceful creek running along the entire right side for added privacy. Additionally, Cardinal Park is located directly across the street, and the oversized driveway provides excellent parking for all your guests. Inside, the main level features gorgeous hardwood floors and a bright, open-concept layout. The spacious kitchen boasts a center island and updated appliances, flowing effortlessly into the dining area and a living room framed by oversized picture windows capturing stunning water views. Step out onto the expansive deck, complete with a remote-controlled auto-retract wind sensitive, awning that's perfect for entertaining or relaxing. A versatile 5th bedroom (currently used as an office), a main-floor laundry/mudroom, and a convenient half bath complete this level. Upstairs, the private primary bedroom offers stunning lake views to enjoy waking up to, a full ensuite bath, and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and another full bath round out the second-floor layout. The bright, walk-out lower level is ready for game night and entertaining! The layout features a spacious recreation room, a 4th bedroom, a 3/4 bath, and a utility room for mechanicals and additional storage. Walk straight out to a finished stone patio complete with a hot tub, lighted pergola and custom under-decking with electric, lights, and ceiling fans—ideal for enjoying the lakeside rain or shine! A highlight of the yard is the iconic and well-known lake landmark, the "Light House". Hand-built to not only shine brightly at night, it also serves as the perfect spot to store all your water toys! The sandy shoreline is ready for your toes to enjoy, complete with a beach firepit. After a fun day in the yard and on the lake, enjoy your perfect front-row seat to watch the sunset and nature's way of painting the sky. The dock, boat lift, and weed roller stay with the property, completely ready to help you make new memories. The attached oversized 3-car garage is fully finished, insulated, and heated—complete with a built-in workbench and storage that’s perfect for tools or hobbies. Adding to the home's value, recent 2025 mechanical upgrades provide total peace of mind and include a brand-new high-efficiency furnace, AC, air exchanger, and whole-house humidifier. Meticulously cared for, privately situated, and entirely turnkey. Stop dreaming about the lake life and start living it—your premier waterfront summer starts the exact moment you move in! Included in Sale: Dock (40’ ShoreStation Dock with “L” shaped section including bench and boat guards), boat lift (ShoreStation boat lift with power winch and canvas cover), hot tub, and dartboard (attached to the basement wall as a cover to electrical access).

- 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.
