Offered for the first time, this custom-built lakeside residence is a rare blend of timeless craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and an irreplaceable setting. Nestled on 3.8 acres along the shores of Downs Lake-including a second parcel featuring a tranquil pond and wetlands-this original owner home was thoughtfully designed to maximize panoramic views, create a seamless connection to its natural surroundings, and provide the ease and comfort of main level living for years to come. Vaulted ceilings and walls of windows frame panoramic lake and wetland views, filling the home with natural light and creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Designed for the ease of main-level living, the home features a spacious primary suite with stunning lake views, a generous walk-in closet, and private bath, along with main floor laundry and an updated kitchen appointed with cherry cabinetry, granite counters and high-end appliances. Formal and informal dining areas provide space for every occasion, while multiple gathering areas, including a spectacular Great Room wrapped in windows with water views on two sides, offer an ever-changing backdrop of nature throughout the seasons. The upper level features three additional bedrooms and a full bath, while the lower level offers a comfortable family room, expansive hobby or flex space, abundant storage, and a lower level garage ideal for recreational vehicles, boats, workshop space, additional vehicles, or storage. Surrounded by peaceful wetlands and the quiet shoreline of Downs Lake, this remarkable property offers an extraordinary sense of privacy and serenity rarely found. Yet despite its setting, you'll enjoy the convenience of being just minutes from the shopping, dining, and everyday amenities of Woodbury and Stillwater, the scenic St. Croix River, and easy freeway access for commuting. More than a home, this is a place where a lifetime of memories was made. Come experience the storybook setting that captured the heart of the original owner and discover why this special property is one you'll never want to leave.
