About This Home

As of December 2025

This stately FULL brick Lake Mendota home is pure paradise, in a small gated community just 10 min from downtown. Breathtaking lake and marsh views from the spectacular 2-story wall of windows in the grt room, and from the main floor primary suite - and from almost everywhere else actually. Entertain lake side (and watch boats slowly parade by) on the tiered stone patio, then retire to the charming main-level "tiny pub" - the very center of the comfortable floor plan. 9 homes share the pier (boat slip likely available). There's not much "condo" about this one. Fee covers pier, private road and entry gate area. Full basement is currently a soundproof luxury wood shop w/ dbl-door garage access. See list of BIG updates including roof, appliances, mechanicals & custom (remote-control) blinds.
