Property Description
Early Vastu design home in Forest Lake neighborhood (formerly Devi Nagar) built by the late Bill Matkin, a well-respected & sorely missed structural engineer. Expansive views of nature from every window. Lovely, mature trees including fruit trees surround the property. Built on almost 6 acres of rolling prairie, this Tudor style home is a haven. With 1 1/2 stories and over 2000 sq. ft. of living space, the building is in-floor heated with 3 bedrooms, an office or sitting room, kitchen, dining area, living room, & laundry room. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet with built in shelving. The upper bathroom is styled in Spanish Crema Mafil marble. Solid maple doors & Amana windows throughout the house. There is also a full, private garden apartment on the lower level with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, an open kitchen & living room or family room, which is perfect for a mother in law suite or teenage pad, or great income potential as an investment to rent out! Detached garage with space for 3 cars. HOA dues are $350/yr + an extra $350 every few years for road maintenance for gravel upkeep. Forest Lake HOA CC&R's apply.
