The next exterior photo is the view from Forada Beach Road.  This home has more than ordinary curb appeal.  Under the Minnesota snow lies a paver stone driveway leading to the double, insulated garage along with a paver walk-way which leads to the inviting 8 X 12 covered entry porch.  Professional landscaping includes retaining walls surrounding the house, an irrigation system for easy lawn maintenance, enchanting flower beds and a flag stone walk way leading to the lakeside stairs and dock area. The close-up exterior photo:  Maintenance free Napco shake-style vinyl siding and cultured stone add to the cottage charm of this magical home.  Just another detail that wasn't ignored - beauty and maintenance free. Oh - enough of the snowy photos - let's go lakeside.  This is summer on the patio (notice the beautiful stone work).  And the views - it's absolutely beautiful up and down this lake shore.   Now this is lake living!   And with great neighbors too! Who's ready for lemonade?  * * Back to reality - It's early spring here and there's still ice on Maple Lake.  Winter is a wonderful season in Minnesota and we love our frozen lakes.  Ice fishing on this lake?  You bet.  Maple Lake is well known for it's good fishing. . . .  not to mention the snowmobiling opportunities.  Maple Lake consists of 815 acres and is very well known in the area for it's water clarity.   The maximum depth according to the DNR is 75'.   Bound to be some walleye lurking there! And have I mentioned . . . . . if you can't catch it here . . . . . we are the land of 10,000 lakes.  Alexandria is not called the   "Lakes Area" for nothing. **Now let's go inside. Inside we have an open floor plan that flows very comfortably.  The main living areas of this home all look out over the lovely backyard and the lake.   This is a perfect arrangement for entertaining and having guests for the weekend.   Great social places and private sleeping places.  Plus the views are intoxicating.  And LOOK at this kitchen.  It's a chef's dream.  Think of the MAGIC you could create here.  Plenty of room for all to gather in the most favorite of gathering places - the KITCHEN. Vaulted ceilings with recessed lighting, wrap around counters with expansive lake view windows and all built-in appliances.   In the kitchen island you'll enjoy the Jenn-aire cook-top.   The cabinets are custom made and all Knotty Alder wood - they're just gorgeous.   And there's plenty of them too . . . including a nearby pantry.   * * As you continue to scroll down - the next few photos are of the kitchen because I feel it truly deserves the attention . . . . . and I think you'll agree. * * * * * * * * As we move into the main living room area . . . . . .     notice the fireplace in the living room.   When looking at this wood-burning Heatilator fireplace . . . . besides imagining a cozy, crackling fire  . . . . it reminds me  . . . . . we should talk about the energy efficiency of this entire home. It's was all foam insulated . . . . there's a dual heat pump system with electric and propane heating . . . . central air-conditioning of course and all the windows are Marvin Windows. Then next you'll go down to the lower level and look around a bit there.   We have a full basement and it's totally finished.  And remember it's a walk-out so you have direct access to the lakeside patio.  Besides the family room, and large media room . . .there's also two nice bathrooms and a laundry room in the lower level. You have a allot of living space in this home . . . . approximately 3,675 finished square feet in fact. * * * As you end this photo tour - you'll see why I say : "there's MAGIC here on Maple Lake"    and this truly is an enchanting home. * * * Now if a picture is worth a thousand words . . . . . I have several pictures here worth several thousand words . . . . so with that being the case . . . there's not much more left to be said. * * * Except . . . if you'd like to find out more about where this property is located and our area . . . .
