Perched on nearly two acres with over 300 feet of private shoreline on Lake Gilfillan, complemented by a serene pond and creek, this mid-century modern home, with significantly expanded square footage, has been transformed into a luxurious move-in-ready oasis. High-end materials and finishes abound—from spa-quality bathrooms featuring BainUltra tubs, heated floors, and custom glass showers, to a chef’s kitchen equipped with Thermador appliances, granite countertops, an induction cooktop, and a new pantry. With ten- and eleven-foot ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, the home provides uninterrupted views of the water and wildlife that surround you. A four-season porch with slate flooring and a gas fireplace, a main-level family room with solid wide-plank Brazilian-wood flooring and a gas fireplace, and a large great room with wool/silk carpeting, the finest of mid-century finishes, and a gas fireplace all create inviting spaces for gathering and entertaining. The expansive lower level offers a theater-style viewing area and another vast gathering space with a gas fireplace and wool carpeting throughout. The lower level also includes a new bathroom shower and a plumbed, wired space ready for a future wet bar.
Major upgrades include a new architectural roof, a new gabled front entrance, fresh interior and exterior paint, upgraded 200-amp electrical service, high-efficiency furnace and air conditioning, radon mitigation, a whole-house water filtration system, in-ground irrigation, a newer septic system, and a three-car garage with EV hookup. A fully paid Gilfillan Lake water augmentation project preserves consistent lake levels, with eagles, swans, and otters frequenting the shorelines. Situated in the Mounds View School District and offering easy access to both Twin Cities’ downtowns and nearby trails, this home—featured in the Star Tribune—masterfully blends its mid-century heritage with upscale modern amenities that make it a true joy to live in.
