About This Home
As of May 2025This small neighborhood is coveted by long-term residents, whose friends and family tend to move in. Access to one of the premier lakes in the Twin Cities metro is a huge bonus! Located in the high-ranking Mounds View school district. Just a block down the street is the small neighborhood private association access boat launch and beach. Homes on Turtle Lake usually command prices over $1M. With clean water and sandy bottom, this lake has amazing recreational and fishing opportunities without the lakefront taxes! Built in the 50's this rambler has had many updates, including a garage conversion to the open concept kitchen and living room you see today. The current owners remodeled the primary suite to have a walk-in closet, double sink, and tiled shower. Two other bedrooms are also on the main floor, and another fully remodeled bathroom. A spacious mudroom has several closets to store seasonal items. Throughout most of the main floor is engineered hardwood and the lower family room has updated carpet. The kitchen has granite counters with lots of prep space, vaulted ceilings, and is connected to the living room with access to the 3 season porch. On the lower level is a large family room ready for your creative ideas or utilize the space for entertaining. The big, flat yard is fully fenced, with a deck, patio area, kids playhouse, and even a hot tub! Other recent updates are: many new windows, a roof in 2018, and a new furnace/AC! Let this be your next home! Please see the update list and items to be included and excluded.
