    Property Description

    Discover a piece of history with modern luxury in this exquisitely updated lakeside home. Originally constructed in the mid-1890s, this historic residence has been home to numerous prominent individuals over its 130-year history. For sale for only the second time in the past 70 years, this home is one of the truly unique lakefront properties in Albert Lea. Interior Highlights: This magnificent home has been thoroughly and exquisitely updated while retaining much of its original charm. Many of the interior doors and hardware are refurbished originals, preserving the home's historic essence. The newly added walkout basement features radiant heated flooring, a fireplace, a kitchenette, an amazing bathroom, and two bedrooms. One of these bedrooms boasts custom-built bunk beds with a ladder constructed from the owner's old dock, adding a unique touch. The main floor's kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring elegant quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large island, and ample cabinet space. This space has played host to numerous events over the years and is ready for many more. Adjacent to the main living room and three-season porch is a bedroom with a full adjoining bathroom. The highlight of the main level is the front picture windows overlooking Fountain Lake, providing tranquil sunrise views that will delight anyone's morning. The upper-level features two bedrooms with their own private baths. The primary bedroom overlooks the lake through antique windows, once prominently featured on a postcard from the turn of the century, allowing the morning sunrise to bathe the room in natural light. The primary bath includes a large shower and jet tub. The primary suite also has its own separate laundry, as well as his and hers closets, with one currently set up as a fitness and health studio. An unfinished attic sits atop all of this, offering potential for expanding the home's living space. Exterior Features: The beautifully landscaped backyard was designed for privacy and plenty of space for fun and games. Two additional outbuildings includea two-car garage and a carriage house updated to a studio workshop with heated floors and a bathroom, perfect for year-round projects or as a potential additional living space. The lush landscaping surrounding the house has been selected for ease of maintenance. The front of the home faces Fountain Lake and can be enjoyed from two patios — a covered patio off the main floor and a large, gated patio with outdoor storage for all your lake toys and other storage needs.
