Check out this rare North Shore gem on Tetonka Lake! Nestled on the coveted private part of desirable Tetonka Lake, this charming year-round lake home offers the perfect blend of rustic character, peaceful surroundings, and untapped potential. With only two owners in its history, this beloved property exudes warmth and a “cabin-at-the-lake” vibe that invites you to slow down and soak it all in. Step inside to find soaring vaulted ceilings, a cozy wood burning fireplace, a large kitchen island for gathering, and an open-concept layout where the kitchen, great room, and deck space flow seamlessly, framed by breathtaking lake views. The wall of windows and sliding doors lead to a spacious, nearly wraparound deck where morning coffee or evening sunsets are simply unforgettable. Two cozy bedrooms and a 3/4 bath complete the main level, while the unfinished walkout basement offers the chance to nearly double your square footage. It's ready for a future bedroom, bath, and bonus living space, imagine the possibilities! Following the Waterville flooding, the lower level was professionally cleaned and gutted, providing a fresh slate for your dream design. Whether you're envisioning a cozy retreat, a modern update, or a multi-generational getaway, this home is ready to rise to the occasion. Tucked away in a quiet and desirable location, you're just minutes from the heart of Waterville, a short hop to Elysian, and an easy commute to Mankato or Faribault. Here, life feels like a getaway...but it’s home!
