6951 n shore trail

168 feet of south-facing, sand-bottom shoreline on Forest Lake, set on 2.18 acres of level lawn that walks gently to the water. A coastal inspired home built in 2007 to sit purposefully on a piece of shoreline that has been loved by the same family for close to a century. The setting is where life happens. Sand bottom means the water is swimmable from the first step, clear enough to see your feet. South-facing means sunlight on the water all day and sunsets off the deck. On the Fourth of July, a front-row seat to fireworks over the lake. The flat lawn is ideal for lawn games and fire pit gatherings, offering generous open space for outdoor recreation. A private dock handles the boating, and the swimming happens right off the end. Inside, every main-floor room looks at the lake. The great room opens to the kitchen, which has Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, and a center island that seats six, and out to a three-sided vaulted screened porch. Morning coffee happens on the primary-suite balcony, tucked under a pergola facing the water. The soaking tub in the en suite looks at the lake through a round porthole window. A dedicated main-floor office and main-floor laundry handle everyday life. Upstairs, three more bedrooms, two with lake views and one with a private en suite. Downstairs, a walkout lower level with its own kitchenette, family room with a stone fireplace, and flex space for recreation. In-floor heat keeps it warm through Minnesota winters. A second home inside the house, built for company and for visiting guests. The practical pieces are already done. 18K whole-home generator, whole-home water filtration, water softener, full irrigation, and a 3-car attached garage. Four miles to M Health Fairview Lakes Medical Center. Roughly 35 minutes to the Twin Cities via I-35. Wyoming Elementary, Forest Lake Middle, and Forest Lake Senior High, all within three miles. Properties like this are often cherished and held for generations. This one has stayed in the same hands for close to a century, and the next chapter is open.
