Inside the Home

Have you outgrown your current home but don’t want to move to the middle of nowhere to find the square footage you need? This unique home gives you the best of both worlds. Nestled in a quiet, established Lester Prairie neighborhood, this sprawling, one-owner 5-bedroom 4-bath 3-car home is a rare gem that truly has room for everyone and everything.

With over 2,600 square feet of above-grade living space, the rooms are exceptionally large and inviting. These wide-open spaces offer a true blank canvas to bring your vision to life. Whether you need multiple home offices, a dedicated hobby room, or just a massive primary suite to escape to, the floor plan accommodates it all.

The fully finished lower level adds even more flexibility for hosting game nights or having a separate hangout space, complete with a dedicated workshop for your projects and a massive unfinished mechanical room perfect for all your storage needs.

Sitting on a beautiful 0.54-acre lot, the outdoor space is an absolute dream. Step out onto the large deck that overlooks your private, wooded backyard, which backs right up to a peaceful creek. (Or is it a “crick”? Whether you prefer sipping morning coffee by the creek or catching frogs down in the crick, we’ll let you settle the debate!) Whether you want to plant sprawling gardens, gather around a firepit under the stars, or just enjoy a huge, flat yard for games and entertaining, there is room for it all—without spending your entire weekend mowing acres of grass.

With the school year starting soon and the school campus just blocks away, now is the time to act. Don’t miss your chance to secure the biggest and best home on the block!

We want you to be able to picture yourself living here! To help with that, we’ve used AI to digitally “tidy up” by removing personal items from these photos. The AI does a fantastic job of guessing what the walls and floors look like behind the removed stuff. Just keep in mind that those filled-in spots are smart digital estimates, so they might not be perfect replicas of the bare space.
