Property Description

A rare opportunity on Prior Lake! This property at 16553 Northwood Road NW can be purchased individually or together with the neighboring lakefront home at 16565 Northwood Road NW, creating a unique opportunity for a family compound with two homes side by side. Enjoy lake living at its best on Prior Lake! With 50 feet of shoreline (or 100 feet, with both homes!), a beautifully manicured sandy beach, and panoramic lake views, this property is all about making the most of life on the water. The sandy beach extends right into the lake, creating a wonderful spot to swim and relax, while the included dock makes getting out on the water easy. There is no association for beach use - it is privately owned and part of the property. Outside, you’ll also find a new maintenance-free deck, a pickleball court, and updated landscaping throughout. A hand-cut slate walkway leads down to the beach, passing a massive fire pit with room for people to gather and enjoy the setting. Plus, there is an outdoor audio system with speakers at the deck, at the fire pit, and at the beach. Inside, the home offers 4,000 finished square feet with vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and beautiful lake views. The main level features a spacious kitchen with a pantry, dining and living areas, and a three-sided gas fireplace that brings the spaces together. Three bedrooms are located on the main level, including the primary suite with a walk-in closet, along with a convenient main-level laundry room. The walkout lower level adds even more room to spread out, with a family room, bedroom, bathroom, wet bar, and an enormous soundproof recreation room with its own separate entrance. Whether you envision a game room, music studio, private guest space, or another flexible-use area, the possibilities are exciting. The space was previously used as a recording studio, and could be converted back. The current owners have made it a destination for fun, with space for games like ping pong and air hockey. A four-car garage and storage shed provide plenty of room for vehicles, lake gear, and everything in between. Recent improvements include a new roof, chimney, deck, two AC units, reverse osmosis system, and carpet. Additional highlights include two water heaters, city-water irrigation, a security system, and large TVs throughout the home that are included in the sale. There is a Wi-Fi booster that keeps you connected all the way down to the lake. With the legal lot extending to the water and the dock included, this is a special opportunity to enjoy a well-appointed lakefront property with room to relax, entertain, and make lasting memories.
