About This Home

As of July 2025

A stunning architectural design by 'Sala' is inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and showcases this absolutely gorgeous, meticulously maintained Prairie Style home on a premier 5+ acre wooded lot. The home and property offer spectacular sunrises and sunsets, with breathtaking eastern and western views visible from all the windows featuring a real stone front exterior, complemented by a built-in flower planter ledge. Custom copper gutters compliment the home along with a steel railing system for the exterior decks and stairways. The 4-foot eaves provide weather protection while enhancing the architectural design. A circular cement driveway and turnaround, as well as an additional parking slab with aggregate-paved edging invite your guests. The western views overlook the treetops, creating a feeling of living in a treehouse—a great setting for wildlife viewing, bird watching, and feeding. The three-season porch allows you to appreciate the sounds and sights of nature in comfort. This magnificent home offers privacy and tranquility while providing easy access to downtown Forest Lake, located in a friendly neighborhood ideal for walking and biking, with cross-country skiing and snowshoeing opportunities right outside your door. The front landscape is adorned with perennial gardens to induce a calming Zen atmosphere. Additionally, there are hunting opportunities on the property for those interested. The spacious yard is perfect for bonfires, and it includes a large fenced vegetable and flower garden with running water.
The interior of this stunning 3+ bedroom / 3 bathroom home is something to be seen in person. The hardwood floors are premium #1 solid maple and custom maple woodwork and cabinets are featured throughout the home, showcasing unique detailed craftsmanship. There is ample storage throughout the house, including large closets and a storage area in the lower level. The laundry room is conveniently attached to the primary suite for easy access and features a built-in ironing station and large granite countertops. The spacious lower level has a cozy family room with a gas fireplace and entertainment walk-up with easy access to a large patio, 2 additional bedrooms, and a large den/office that could easily be converted into a 4th bedroom . Last but not least is the 5 car attached insulated and heated garage with workshop area. This home is truly a must see!
