Stunning Lake-front Home, Walk to Trails and Town!

Beautiful historic home within Walker city limits, right on Walker Bay of Leech Lake. Blocks to Heartland and Paul Bunyan Trails, as well as the public lake access beach park and all of Walker's shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Private access to sandy lake bottom with crystal clear water that is great for swimming off the dock. Breathtaking views of the lake from almost every room of the home! Large rooms and open spaces throughout this historic charmer with original hardwood floors and fireplace facade. The main floor includes the kitchen, half bath, dining room, large living room (one pull-out bed), and den (one pull-out bed). Head upstairs for two lake-facing bedrooms, two additional bunk rooms, and the main 3/4 bath. There are multiple outdoor spaces to relax around the home, with a grilling deck, covered porch, large deck above the lake access, and a beautiful dock complete with a two-person bench, swim ladder, and bumper poles. Bring your own boat or rent one just down the street - either way, the dock is available and there's still plenty of room to safely swim when a boat is tied up! A few notes to be aware of: *The home has a mini-split air conditioner in the kitchen on the main floor, but does not have central air conditioning. The upstairs can get a bit warm on very hot summer days; however, 3 of the bedrooms have ceiling fans and 3 additional room fans are provided. We find that open windows and lake breezes make for a comfortable night's sleep. *There are 2 pull-out couches on the main floor; however, all private bathrooms and the shower are on the second level and require using the stairs. There is no shower or bathtub on the main level. *The home sits at elevation above the lake, which provides breath-taking views; however, this means there are multiple stairs down to our dock at lake-level. There are 2 landings along the way to break up your trek, and the sandy lake bottom and dock at the bottom are worth it - but something to keep in mind. *The main floor TV is a smart TV; however, the upstairs TV is not. Both TVs are connected to DVD players and there is a wide assortment of DVDs (including children's movies) available; however, we do not provide cable or satellite television.
