MLS# 7052167 - 1575 Long Lake Boulevard Orono, MN 55356

1575 Long Lake Blvd was the first cabin built in the neighborhood you see today. The “Albee Addition” was an Apple Orchard long before 1930's lake cabins were built. The original owner, Edna Albee, included many traditional Norwegian details into the fireplace mantle, main level bathroom mirror / tile work and dining room chandelier. The home has been meticulously maintained and improved and offers potential for your own improvements and additions. From your first step inside, you see the bright spaces and feel the care of the prior stewards have given this wonderful property. The additions are tasteful and right sized. The quality and finishes are consistent, complimenting the original character while improving the home. Notably, a new foundation and walkout lower level provide level floors and no old house creaks. This property is as much about the setting and outdoor space as the indoor spaces. It feels up north but then you remember, you are 7 minutes from Wayzata and 22 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. With 235 feet of south facing shoreline on .6 acres, the expansive and unobstructed lake view captures spectacular sunrises and sunsets from inside the house - or from any of the outdoor leisure areas. The back deck and dining deck are two very different feelings, one offering full sun, the other gives shade. The sandy beach is surrounded by rip rap and is a great spot to relax with your feet in the water or go for a swim. The lower patio offers a similar view to the upper deck, but the saltwater hot tub promotes relaxation. The secluded fire pit sits near the forest, surrounded by a flat stone patio with large stone benches and a peaceful view of the lake. And finally, relaxing on the dock is quintessential lake living. The lake side does offer a fairly flat area for yard games. Keep an eye out for Bald Eagles, turtles, hummingbirds, swans and loons. Mulberries, rhubarb and onion grass grows on the hill, next to the garage.
