Description

Welcome to this beautifully updated 1916 Craftsman located approximately 450 feet from Albert Lea City Beach on Fountain Lake. Offering 2,112 finished square feet, this spacious home features five bedrooms, two fully remodeled bathrooms, and preserved original millwork.

A private staircase leads to an upstairs bedroom that could also serve as a home office or guest retreat. Recent improvements include 24 new windows, new exterior and garage doors, a new garage door opener, LVP flooring, carpet, updated lighting and receptacles, mini-split air conditioning, and an inspected boiler system. Outside, enjoy refreshed two-tone paint, a graded and landscaped yard, and a new backyard gazebo—all just moments from the beach and waterfront recreation. Please know we are waiting on a part so the new mini split will be installed shortly after the part arrives on the 25th.
