Tucked on a quiet dead-end road in Detroit Lakes, this west-shore Long Lake property delivers a true rural feel just minutes from downtown. This updated 4-bedroom (potential 5th), 2-bath home offers over 3,000 square feet on 0.81 acres with 125 feet of lakeshore and a 5-stall garage, directly beside Concordia College’s preserved 120-acre Field Station. The neighboring woodlands, prairie, wetlands, and protected shoreline create a natural buffer that keeps this setting calm and scenic. Long Lake is a 409-acre lake (max depth 61 ft) with clear water and solid fishing for northern pike, bluegill, bass, crappie, and walleye. A long, paved driveway leads to the multi-stall 1528 SF garage. The home sits elevated above the water with a gentle slope and retaining walls that frame the shoreline. A roadside deck and a lakeside deck and patio provide outdoor living space, while the walkout lower level opens to a patio with lake views. Inside, the open main floor features a spacious kitchen with a large granite island, stainless appliances, and two-tone cabinets that flow into dining and living space warmed by a stone gas fireplace. LVP Flooring, updated lighting, and a glass-railed carpeted stairway connect the levels. The lower level adds a second living area with its own fireplace and direct patio access to the water, plus an additional bedroom and bonus room. Efficient systems—propane boiler with tankless water heater plus mini-split cooling—support comfortable year-round living. A full list of additional improvements is available. Virtual tour and drone video available. Private well and septic. Rare privacy, usable lakeshore, and the best of both worlds on a low-traffic street.
