At around 20 minutes’ drive time, you’re comfortably close, but just distant enough from the Twin Cities to avoid their stress and congestion. Welcome to 1235 Pond View Lane, your private oasis that’s situated at the threshold of all things outdoors, yet puts you in the sphere of a lake that Mark Twain felt merited mention in his “Life on the Mississippi.” Take in the joys of small town living as the association a handles the drudgery of homeownership. Yet, you have this blank canvas that challenges you to create something to truly call your own. The main level features a circular flow around the kitchen, which itself is a conversation piece with its turret-like breakfast area.

But ponder this delightful dilemma: How much of the lower level will you devote to just yourself?
