Welcome to a timeless lakeside retreat nestled along 157 feet of pristine, level shoreline on the tranquil waters of Lake Jane. Framed by soaring pines and natural beauty, this vintage gem radiates warmth and charm with a unique blend of rustic elegance and mid-century modern flair. Inside, rich wood accents, gleaming hardwood floors, and stunning beamed ceilings create a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The spacious main level offers comfortable living spaces bathed in natural light, with panoramic lake views from nearly every room. Two classic wood-burning fireplaces anchor the home, perfect for cozy evenings and heartfelt gatherings. Designed with ease and comfort in mind, the thoughtful main-floor layout supports seamless indoor-outdoor living. The walkout lower level presents a blank canvas, ready for your creative vision to transform it into the next chapter of lakeside living. Peace of mind is added with the upcoming installation of a brand-new septic system. Lake Jane is a local treasure, spanning over 152 acres with crystal-clear waters reaching 39 feet in depth. It’s a haven for anglers, boaters, and anyone seeking the simple joys of swimming, fishing, and lakeside relaxation. The lake teems with Northern Pike, Bass, Bluegill, and more—offering endless opportunities to create lasting memories right from your backyard. This home is more than a property—it’s an opportunity to embrace lakeside living at its best. Whether you’re drawn by its timeless character or the endless possibilities it offers, this is a rare chance to start a new legacy in one of Lake Elmo’s most cherished locations.
