    Gas fireplaceNew sink and faucetLow-maintenance vinyl sidingSilestone countertops and backsplash
    Welcome to your dream lake home! This charming 2-bedroom, 1-full-bath cottage on South Lindstrom Lake has been completely transformed since 2024 with extensive updates throughout. Set on a private 1.31-acre peninsula lot with 146 feet of direct lakeshore, this retreat offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and classic lakeside living in a quiet, wildlife-rich setting. The exterior features low-maintenance vinyl siding that requires virtually no upkeep — just enjoy the lake! Step inside the main cabin, where most of the interior has been thoughtfully updated with all-new knotty pine planking and sheetrock walls. New Luxury Vinyl Flooring (NuCore) runs throughout, supported by brand-new subflooring. Fresh ceiling paneling and recessed lighting create a bright, warm atmosphere. The spacious living area features a gas fireplace that makes the room completely cozy all winter long — perfect for relaxing after a day on the water. The brand-new kitchen includes custom cabinets, Silestone countertops and backsplash, new sink and faucet. Both bedrooms have been fully remodeled for comfort and style. You’ll love the all-new full bathroom with premium Silestone surfaces and custom cabinets, plus a brand-new laundry room complete with washer and dryer. Additional updates include a new entryway floor with Luxury Vinyl, a new 40-gallon water heater, new insulated ductwork to every vent from the furnace, and a new in-wall air conditioner for year-round comfort. Outside, enjoy the large, private yard surrounded by mature trees and abundant wildlife — ideal for boating, fishing, or simply relaxing on the screened porch with stunning lake views. The 2-car detached garage provides ample storage, and the updated septic/holding tank (installed 2024) offers peace of mind. Lake & Boating Highlights: Your 146 feet of shoreline sits on beautiful South Lindstrom Lake (approx. 455 acres). From your dock, you have direct, easy access to North Lindstrom Lake and Chisago Lake — giving you immediate enjoyment of well over 1,400 acres of connected water for boating, fishing, and recreation. When water levels are high enough for the channels and weirs to open fully, you can explore the entire Chisago Lakes chain, which encompasses over 7,000 acres across multiple connected lakes. It’s a boater’s and angler’s paradise with excellent opportunities for all skill levels. Bonus Lifestyle Perk: This property is less than a mile from Chisago Lakes Golf Course! Grab a golf cart and membership, and you’re all set — you can drive your cart straight there for a quick round or a day on the links. This prime location puts you close to town, golf courses, and Chisago Lakes High School while feeling wonderfully secluded on the peninsula. Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway, year-round home, or investment property, this move-in-ready lakefront gem — with its extensive renovations and low-maintenance exterior — delivers unbeatable value and lifestyle.
