Previous Description:
Less than a mile from downtown Walker, this beautifully crafted home on the highly sought-after Lake May/Long Lake chain offers the perfect blend of architectural charm, thoughtful design, and relaxed lakeside living. Set on 1.3 private acres with 104 feet of shoreline, the property features a gentle slope to the water, a canopy of mature pines, and a paved driveway for easy, year-round access. Tucked just outside city limits, the home benefits from lower property taxes while still offering unbeatable proximity to town. It’s within walking distance to Walker’s new grocery store, local pubs, dining, boutique shops, the city park, and more—giving you convenient access to everyday essentials and small-town charm. Even better, Leech Lake access at the Walker City Park boat launch is less than two miles away, opening the door to world-class boating, fishing, and recreation just minutes from your driveway. Inside, the layout is open yet comfortably defined, with vaulted ceilings, massive exposed beams, and a lakeside wall of windows that bring the outdoors in. The main living area is anchored by a striking real stone wood-burning fireplace, set into its own inviting nook—a perfect place to relax and unwind. Just steps away, a TV-watching corner complete with a wet bar adds a casual and functional touch to the space. A lakeside dining room flows from the living area, surrounded by windows and views, while a second dining space off the kitchen offers flexibility for everyday meals or gatherings. The kitchen itself is both spacious and practical, with a center island, plenty of cabinetry, and ample storage for entertaining or daily use. The main-floor primary suite includes a ¾ bath and a distinctive octagonal lakeside office—ideal for remote work, creative projects, or quiet reading. A guest bedroom and full bath complete the main level, which is finished with hardwood flooring (likely oak) and warm tongue-and-groove wood accents throughout. The walk-out lower level includes a spacious family room with a gas fireplace, two additional bedrooms, a 3/4 bathroom, a lakeside hobby room, and a dedicated laundry area—making it ideal for guests, hobbies, or multi-use living. Outdoor spaces are just as enjoyable, with a large covered porch and a lakeside deck that provide multiple spots to relax or entertain. Two detached garages—measuring 24' x 30' and 16' x 22'—offer plenty of storage for vehicles, boats, and outdoor gear. In addition to the lake out your back door, the home is located just across Lake May from the Heartland State Trail, offering quick access to miles of hiking, biking, and snowmobiling. Enjoy the virtual tour with both interior, exterior and aerial video!
