1575 Long Lake Boulevard Orono, MN 55356

3 Bed
2 Baths
1880 sqft
MLS# 6798758
1575 Long Lake Blvd was the first cabin built in the neighborhood you see today. The “Albee Addition” was an Apple Orchard long before lake cabins were built in the late 1930s. The original owner, Edna Albee, was from Norway and included many traditional Norwegian details into the fireplace mantle, main level bathroom mirror / tile work and dining room chandelier. The home has been meticulously maintained and improved over the years and offers potential for your own improvements and additions. Even with changes over the years, the charm remains. From the moment you step inside, you see the bright spaces and feel the care that all the stewards of this wonderful property have given this home. The additions are tasteful and right sized; the quality and finishes are consistent, complimenting the original character but improving the home. Most notably, a new foundation and walkout lower level provide level floors and no old house creaks. This property is as much about the setting and outdoor space as it is about the indoor spaces. It feels up north but then you remember, you are 7 minutes from Wayzata and 22 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. The property width, elevation and mature trees work together to give vast lake views with supreme lakeside privacy, and privacy between neighbors. With 250 feet of south facing shoreline on .6 acres, the expansive and unobstructed lake view captures spectacular sunrises and sunsets from inside the house - or from any of the numerous outdoor leisure areas. The six distinct outdoor areas give you options for any mood or occasion. The back deck and dining deck are two very different feelings, one offering full sun, the other gives shade. The sandy beach is surrounded by rip rap and is a great spot to relax with your feet in the water or go for a swim. The lower patio offers a similar view to the upper deck, but the saltwater hot tub gives a different option for relaxation. The secluded fire pit is tucked away from the house near the forested lowlands, surrounded by a flat stone patio with large stone benches and a peaceful view of the lake. The recessed fire pit includes built in drainage and a nearby hose attachment for safety. And finally, relaxing on the dock is the quintessential lakeside decompression zone. Of course, the lake side does offer a fairly flat area for yard games such, making that seven distinct outdoor areas! While you are outside, keep an eye out for Bald Eagles, turtles, hummingbirds, swans and loons. Mulberries, rhubarb and onion grass grows on the hill, next to the garage.
