Welcome to this spacious and whimsical Lake City cottage, brimming with character, charm, and exceptional curb appeal. Beautiful perennial gardens and thoughtfully planted landscaping welcome you to a home that truly feels special. The main level offers an inviting blend of living and entertaining spaces, including a large family room, living room, and formal dining room. The updated eat-in kitchen features granite countertops and newer-style cabinetry, with a convenient deck just off the kitchen. Two charming porches provide additional spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy the neighborhood—plus, they offer a front-row view of the Water Ski Days Parade! The updated main-floor bathroom adds modern convenience, while the upper-level features three generously sized bedrooms, a bathroom with a classic clawfoot tub, and a spacious storage room that could easily be transformed into a home office, studio, or bonus room. Beautiful original woodwork and hardwood floors add warmth and timeless character throughout the home. Front and back stairways provide added convenience and flexibility. The large basement features tall ceilings and excellent storage potential. Recent improvements include a complete reroof in 2023, replacement of the AC in 2024, new basement glass block windows in 2023, a new water heater in 2026, and replacement of the north-side retaining wall in 2025. The previous owner also completed numerous thoughtful updates, detailed in the prior seller's disclosure included in the supplements. Ideally located near Lake City's shops and retail, as well as the parks and recreational opportunities along Lake Pepin, this home puts you close to all that makes the community so special. Walk to the farmers market, enjoy the nearby parks, or relax on your porch and take in the festivities. With its distinctive architecture, beautiful gardens, original details, and wonderful location, this is more than a house—it’s a unique and character-filled home in the charming town of Lake City.
