762 Shore Acres Rd, La Crescent, MN 55947

Architect designed for a devotee of Frank Lloyd Wright in the 'prairie style' with extended roof soffits and large windows and an open concept which allows light to flow throughout the home. The home has the highest elevation for the first floor of any home on the river permitting a lower level that is unique to river homes. The lower level is another recreation and family space with a TV/movie entertainment area along with both full size pool and foosball tables. Also there is storage, shop space, and separate mechanical room with a counter and utility sink. How often this comes in handy. The entire home is designed for family fun and entertainment. The home includes everything offered by a ‘vacation home in the north' without having to load the vehicle and travel -- AND have another lawn to mow and home to maintain. And that is, if, the family didn't want to stay at home with their friends and not travel at all. There is a circular drive with plantings, a sprinkler system with irrigation water pumped from the river, a connection to City of La Crescent sanitary sewer and a private well. The $665,000 selling price is based on a two year old bank appraisal of $625,000 for the home [matching Zillow estimate $603,000]. There is a platted buildable adjacent lot available for sale at $200,000. The second lot makes a great 'field' for soccer or baseball. Or it could be sold in the future as an investment. The home can be purchased partially furnished or without any furnishings. The home has been audited and the well tested. All data is readily available and we would be pleased to host your home inspector. The home is immaculate and records include landscaping selections, sprinkler layouts, original construction documents, surveys and the record/pamphlet of virtually every product in the home. Tours are recently available. Call 608.792.9897 to arrange a tour. Additional: The Zillow estimate used non-water properties for 'comparable' sales. Recent sale of waterfront properties located on the same street can be found on Zillow and sold for $167 to over $200 a square foot and were on shallow and narrow lots without usable lower levels. The value on Zillow using waterfront properties for comparison are over $800,000 (verses the asking price of $665,000) making the $200,000 asking price of the second lot almost a bonus. Comparable but less desirable buildable vacant lots are available in the neighborhood for $300,000. Owner financing of the extra lot is possible. Call 608.792.9897 for a tour or an inquiry. This pre-sale listing will save sales commission that could decrease the cost to the buyer. The closing and disclosures will be made easy and convenient meeting any concern and detail. If you have a real estate partner their participation is welcome. This is unique time to sell and show a home with social distancing. We will work with buyer to ensure comfort in this area. Depending on future guidelines for the summer the home may be removed from the market. The dock replacement is scheduled but waits a final design based on location and new owners boat type. The goal is to find a buyer that will enjoy the home as much as the seller has enjoyed the home. The seller has a (winter) seasonal home but enjoys summers on the river so this is not a process that needs to be rushed.
