This gracious two-story, eleven-gable home on 3+ acres is surrounded by open farm land and looks out over the nearby lake. Originally an 1885 farmhouse, it was completely renovated and rebuilt in 2012 into a 3,624 sq.ft. home with all modern facilities. The 3+ acres are mostly wooded, with a mature shelter belt protecting the north, east and west sides, so there is a sunny southern exposure. The house is all electric, with rural water, a new septic system, underground utilities, forced air heating and a Jotul gas stove. It also has high-speed internet installed. The main floor features a living room, formal dining room; kitchen with breakfast counter, island workstation and pantry; utility room with water softener; laundry room; master bedroom, bath and large walk-in closet, and guest half-bath. Flooring is ceramic tile, hardwood, carpeting and vinyl. There are brick patios on the east, south and west sides of the house accessible from the front door, the south and north doors of the dining room and the kitchen. The attached over-sized 2-car garage has a 3rd rear overhead door for garden equipment, as well as an attached shed suitable for a weight/exercise room or hot tub. The second floor has areas for an office/studio, bedrooms with walk-in closets, full bath, and a finished, heated attic over the garage with access both to the second floor, and by a pull-down staircase to the garage below. All 3 bathrooms have wall-hung toilets. All insulation is foam-in plus fiberglass throughout. The roof is all steel, and the windows are double-hung, thermal pane, and tilt in for convenient washing. The downstairs windows have insulated blinds. All exterior doors have Larson storm doors. The property also includes a detached 12'x20' garden shed. This home is within 5 minutes of the village of Lake Benton, which affords amenities including a library, clinic, grocery store, restaurants, gas station, and an elementary/middle school. Three major population centers are within 30 minutes: Marshall and Pipestone, MN, and Brookings, SD. Minneapolis is within a 3-hour drive, and Sioux Falls, SD within an hour, both with airports providing major airline carriers. The Lake Benton area is noted for its boating, fishing, deer and pheasant hunting, as well as for its friendly community atmosphere.
