About this home

Lakefront living meets extensive, move-in-ready updates in this enchanting three-bedroom, three-bathroom home situated directly on Forest Lake. Set on a .42-acre lot within walking distance of downtown, the property features more than 50 feet of beautifully maintained sandy shoreline and a charming lakeside boathouse. Approximately $28,000 was invested in landscaping, tree removal, and new plantings in August 2026, creating an inviting outdoor setting ready to enjoy. The expansive, low-maintenance lakeside deck and convenient outdoor shower make it easy to enjoy life on the lake. The home has been refreshed with Sherwin Williams interior and exterior paint, new front and rear exterior doors, numerous new interior doors and trim, all new carpeting, a new Frigidaire refrigerator, Dacor and Viking stainless appliances, a new Quartz kitchen island, LED recessed lighting, updated light fixtures and switches, new faucets and updated door hardware throughout. The main level features a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet, tub, walk-in shower, and double vanity. The lakeside living room is filled with natural light from large windows and includes a gas fireplace. A second living area offers vaulted ceilings, another gas fireplace with built ins, a new ceiling fan and new carpeting. Upstairs there are two additional bedrooms, a lakeside loft or sitting area with beautiful views of Forest Lake and a remodeled bathroom featuring new floor tile, quartz countertops, undermount sinks, new faucets, a new toilet, mirror, and lighting. The main garage has also been upgraded with new epoxy flooring, lighting, drywall, and an entry keypad. A separate one-car detached garage provides additional space for storage, lake equipment, and recreational gear. This thoughtfully updated property offers comfortable year-round living, ample storage, and an exceptional waterfront lifestyle directly on Forest Lake—all within walking distance to the dining, coffee shops and shopping in downtown Forest Lake.

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.
