Property Description

Bald Eagle Lake Living — Here It Is. Rare Rambler, Unmatched Setting, Extraordinary Value. Opportunities like this don't come around often. Situated directly across from the shores of Bald Eagle Lake — one of the most sought-after lakes in the entire Twin Cities metro — this sprawling east/west-facing walkout rambler delivers the lake lifestyle at a fraction of the cost of lakefront ownership. Your membership in the exclusive Timberhills Lake Association (just $200/year, shared among only 22 homes) includes generous shared lake frontage, two docks, and your very own boat slip — large enough to accommodate a full-size boat or pontoon. Simply load up the wagon and stroll cady-corner across the street. That's lake living at its finest. The setting alone is a story worth telling. Nestled on a private .33-acre lot with mature wetlands wrapping two sides to the south and west, and with only one immediate neighboring property, this home delivers a sense of seclusion and panoramic natural beauty that most lake-area properties simply cannot match. Cedar siding, a massive 3-car garage, dedicated boat and pontoon parking behind the garage, and a fully fenced backyard with in-ground irrigation round out an exterior that's as functional as it is inviting. For context: the neighboring property — same street, same proximity to the lake — sold for $1,100,000 last fall. Step inside and the generosity of this home becomes immediately clear. The great room is a showstopper: soaring wood vaulted ceilings, substantial east-facing windows that capture the morning light and frame views toward the lake, rich oak hardwood floors flowing through the living areas, and an electric fireplace with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone accent chase that anchors the room. Tucked above? A charming loft space — the kind kids dream about and adults secretly love too. The adjoining informal dining area opens wide to a maple custom kitchen outfitted with heated tile floors, a tiled backsplash, granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a peninsula with seating — a natural gathering place. Step out from the rear and you're on a massive deck spanning the entire length of the home, your private outdoor living room overlooking the serene, tree-lined backyard. The main floor primary bedroom with ensuite bath is a feature too often missing at this price point. Down the hall, two additional bedrooms and a beautifully appointed ¾ supporting bath — marble floors, tile accents, maple vanity with granite top — complete a remarkably livable single-level footprint. The lower level is where this home truly reveals its depth. A spacious family room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace walks out to a wonderful patio with a brand new gazebo — perfect for quiet al fresco evenings. Just off the family room: a full second kitchen with dining area, ideal for multigenerational living, extended family visits, or adult children who want their own space. Add a ¾ bath, a sauna, two oversized non-conforming bedrooms, and a second washer/dryer option, and you have a lower level that functions as a home within a home. The seller is relocating internationally — this home is available now, ready to welcome its next chapter. For buyers who have been priced out of direct lakefront but refuse to give up the lake life, this is the answer. Come see it. Then join the community.
