Get ready to be captured (not literally) by this lake home from the moment you walk in! Situated on over 100’ of level sandy lake frontage on North Long Lake, this custom-built lake home will leave you in awe. When you walk into the open living area with the vaulted ceiling looking towards the lake, there is a huge stone gas fireplace (you will want this on just for the ambiance). This huge open space will become your favorite central space for gatherings. Enjoy making all the things in the professionally designed kitchen - featuring Sub Zero and Wolf appliances, a double oven (you can cook twice as much), built-in wine cooler and large bar height seating area for casual dining or conversation.
The main level is so well designed with a primary suite privately located on the opposite end with all the things – a large walk-in closet, double sinks, steam shower, and a window view towards the lake. Need to do some laundry? There is a spacious laundry room, and a storage area right when you walk in from the garage. There is also a ½ bath located right when you walk in if you need to take a quick ‘break’.
Heading to the upper level – you will not be disappointed with more amazing views looking towards the lake. If you want separate sleeping spaces there are two amazingly huge bedrooms on opposite ends of the walkway, both with access to the full bath. There are also so many options for these huge bedrooms if you don’t need additional sleeping space - such as an office (but who wants to work at the lake ??). Check out this bonus - if you do have extra family and friends who are up having fun at the lake and you need even more space - there is a heated bedroom / bonus room for sleeping, a family room, or a game room right above the garage area - with another ¾ bath on the main level right below the bonus room for more flexibility.
Now for the garage – it is an oversized 1,181 square foot heated 3-car garage for all your vehicles and lake toys with a lakeside entrance for easy access to the lake. Enjoy the well-groomed yard when walking or riding down to the lake. The private boardwalk leads to an amazing level lakeshore where you can enjoy the shoreline and lake activities, and then come back to unwind in the hot tub. For peace of mind with this lake living – there is a backup generator. Located in the heart of the Brainerd Lakes Area - convenient to shopping, activities, and restaurants. Truly a magnificent home on a 1.6-acre lakeshore lot to use as your lake home or as an investment property!
