About This Home

Show 7/7. This stately FULL brick Lake Mendota home is pure paradise, 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 flr primary suite - and from almost everywhere else. 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 (no boat slips, marina right next door). There's not much "condo" about this one. Fee covers pier, private road and entry gate area. Full bsmt 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. Condo-$270/mo
