Description
Located near the prestigious Highland Country Club, this enchanting New England-style cottage blends timeless character with inviting warmth. One of its most captivating features is the heart pine flooring that flows throughout much of the home, adding a touch of authenticity and charm. Built to accommodate a growing family, this spacious one story residence offers 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths, along with beautifully designed living spaces. The formal living room exudes elegance with a fireplace and built-in bookcases-perfect for displaying treasured books or collectibles-while the formal dining room sets the stage for memorable gatherings. The cozy family room is a true retreat, featuring a beamed ceiling, fireplace, built-in shelves, and a classic wet bar. A French door opens to a delightful screened porch overlooking a serene courtyard with a fountain, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The primary suite is a private haven, complete with a vaulted wood ceiling, walk-in closet, and en suite bath featuring a separate tub and shower. The guest wing offers three additional bedrooms, each with its own charm: one with an en suite bath and balcony overlooking the front lawn, another with built-in bunk beds, bookcases, and a bay window; and a large third bedroom sharing a Jack & Jill bath. With rich wood moldings, custom details from the 1940s, and expansive grounds that include a quaint outdoor cabin with fireplace-a favorite spot for past oyster roasts-this home is truly one-of-a-kind. Classic, comfortable, and full of history, it's a rare find in the Forest Lake area.
