About this home

Charming Lakeside Home on the Lake May/Long Lake Chain – Walker, MN. Less than a mile from downtown Walker, this charming home on the highly sought-after Lake May/Long Lake chain offers relaxed lakeside living at its best. Set on 1.4 private acres with 138.83 feet of shoreline, the property features a gentle slope to the water, a canopy of towering mature pines, and a paved driveway for easy, year-round access. Tucked just outside city limits, you’ll enjoy lower property taxes while staying close to everything Walker has to offer. The home is within walking distance to the new grocery store, local pubs, dining, boutique shopping, the city park, and more, giving you convenient access to everyday essentials and small-town charm. Even better, Leech Lake access at the Walker City Park boat launch is less than two miles away, offering world-class boating, fishing, and recreation just minutes from your driveway. Inside, the open yet comfortably defined layout features a lakeside wall of windows that brings the outdoors in. The main living area is anchored by a striking Malm wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings by the fire. The spacious kitchen includes a center island, ample cabinetry, and plenty of storage for entertaining or daily living. The main floor includes a lakeside bedroom, an additional TV room or guest space, and a full bath. Hardwood flooring (likely oak) and warm oak tongue and groove accents, straight out of a Pottery Barn photo shoot, add timeless Northwoods charm throughout. The newly renovated walk-out lower level features a large family room with wet bar and gas burning brick fireplace, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a dedicated laundry/utility room. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a large covered porch and lakeside deck providing multiple spaces to relax, dine, or entertain. A detached 24' x 30' garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, boats, and outdoor gear. Across Lake May, you’ll find the Heartland State Trail for easy access to miles of hiking, biking, and snowmobiling. Golf enthusiasts will love having a scenic 18-hole course less than a mile away. Additional highlights include a brand-new septic pressure bed (2025) and coveted northwest exposure, perfect for enjoying those breathtaking evening sunsets over the water. Enjoy the virtual tour, complete with interior, exterior, and aerial video, and experience the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and lakeside living.

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.
