Life on the lake and life in town. Both! And no lake work. Enjoy coffee and sunrises from your own deck with easy stair access down to the beach. Don't miss this chance to enjoy beautiful Forest Lake without all the work and maintenance that normally comes with lake life! This home in the sought-after West Bay Condominiums is adjacent to beautiful Lakeside Park and Forest Lake Beach. An association dock allows easy access to the water in the summer with the option to have a boat slip for a nominal fee. Walk to shops and restaurants nearby. And it's only a short drive to I-35 for easy freeway access and more shopping and restaurants. This condo features two bedrooms, one full bath, a cozy wood burning fireplace, and relaxing views of the lake. All living space on one level. Laundry is conveniently located in the unit. A locked storage unit in the basement holds all your boat toys and seasonal furniture. This opportunity doesn't come very often. Modestly priced lake life waits for you.
