Property Description

Welcome to 737 Carla Lane, one of the most remarkable waterfront opportunities on Lake Gervais. Situated on a premier peninsula lot with approximately 125 feet of shoreline frontage, this exceptional property captures nearly 180 degrees of panoramic lake views and offers a rare chance to enjoy true lakefront living in the heart of the Twin Cities. From morning coffee overlooking the water to sunset gatherings on the patio, every space has been designed to embrace the lake. The aluminum dock is included, providing immediate access to boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and all that Lake Gervais has to offer. Anglers will especially appreciate the property’s location, with one of the lake’s most sought-after fishing areas directly off the shoreline. The home features 3 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and an abundance of flexible living space spread throughout multiple levels. Two separate single-car garages provide convenient storage for vehicles, recreational equipment, and lake essentials. Inside, expansive windows frame breathtaking water views from nearly every angle. Three fireplaces—including gas, wood-burning, and electric options—create inviting gathering spaces year-round. The wood-burning fireplace received a new liner in 2025 for added peace of mind. The extensively remodeled walkout lower level offers exceptional versatility with a full second kitchen, heated tile flooring throughout, a dedicated wine cellar, and a private den ideal for a media room, game room, home office, fitness area, or additional guest space. Outdoor living takes center stage with multiple decks and a spacious lakeside patio positioned just steps from the water’s edge. The setting provides a front-row seat to everything lake life has to offer while maximizing the property’s extraordinary views. Numerous updates and improvements have already been completed, including: • New Hardie Board siding (2025) • New roof (2023) • Three new skylights • Four Renewal by Andersen bay windows • New front entry doors • New garage doors • Kitchen luxury vinyl plank flooring (2023) • New upper-level carpeting (2025) • Complete lower-level renovation with full kitchen and in-floor heated tile floors (2023) • New wood-burning fireplace liner (2025) Comfort is supported by an extensive mechanical package featuring dual furnaces, dual central air systems, three mini-split units, supplemental baseboard heat in the upper-level bedrooms, two sump pumps, city water and city sewer service, plus a private well supplying exterior water spigots. While some areas present opportunities for future cosmetic updates, the true value lies in the irreplaceable location. Properties offering this combination of peninsula positioning, expansive shoreline frontage, panoramic views, and convenient access to both Minneapolis and St. Paul rarely come available. Sellers are open to discussing potential concessions for buyers wishing to personalize select spaces. Whether you’re searching for a year-round residence, a waterfront retreat, or an entertainer’s dream, 737 Carla Lane offers a lifestyle that few properties can match—where boating, fishing, recreation, and breathtaking views become part of everyday life. *Hot tub is not included
