A rare opportunity on Prior Lake! This property at 16565 Northwood Road NW can be purchased individually or together with the neighboring lakefront home at 16553 Northwood Road NW, creating a unique opportunity for a family compound with two homes side by side. Enjoy 50 feet (or 100 feet, with both homes!) of beautifully maintained shoreline, with a sandy beach that extends right into the lake for an inviting spot to swim, relax, and enjoy lake life. There is no association for beach use - it is privately owned. Inside, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home offers a unique multi-level layout with plenty of room to spread out. The main level features the kitchen, a living room with a gas fireplace, and a bedroom with a 3/4 bathroom. Two separate staircases lead to the upper levels, adding to the home’s character and thoughtful layout. One takes you to a loft-style family room with excellent views of the lake, while the other leads to two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a convenient laundry room. Continue up another half flight to the private primary suite, complete with a walk-in closet and an updated bathroom featuring a new soaking tub and tiled walk-in shower. Outside, enjoy the lake views from the patio and gazebo, with the sandy beach just steps away. The legal lot description extends to the water, and a Wi-Fi booster helps keep you connected all the way down to the lake. Additional highlights include a finished garage with heat and air conditioning, city-water irrigation, a security system, new carpet, and large TVs throughout the home that are included in the sale. Docks are also included in the sale. Whether you’re looking for your own lakefront retreat or dreaming of creating a family compound with the neighboring property, this is a special opportunity to enjoy life on Prior Lake with room for family, friends, and plenty of time on the water.
