Majestic 2-story lakeside home offering the ultimate in waterfront living. This beautifully maintained 1997-built residence sits on 1.34+ acres of tastefully landscaped grounds with over 110 feet of sandy lakeshore on pristine South Center Lake — part of the renowned Chisago Lakes chain. Boaters will love the direct navigable access to North Center Lake, where you can cruise to waterfront restaurants and bars, with potential (depending on water levels) to explore even further into North and South Lindstrom Lakes and Chisago Lake — giving you access to the second-largest chain of lakes in the greater Twin Cities metro area after Lake Minnetonka. South Center offers 835-acres and North Center offers an additional 749 acres. This recreational gem is known for its clear waters, maximum depth of 109 feet, and excellent fishing for northern pike, walleye, largemouth bass, black crappie, and bluegill.
