This home is in great condition! A classic lakefront cottage, these are becoming difficult to find. Pristine condition throughout, and all the mechanicals, including the 5 inch well are less than 5 years old. Knotty pine interior, 57 feet of gorgeous Magician Lake frontage with a new aluminum dock and an extra lot across the street. This is a great buy- and Magician Lake is the one you want in Sister Lakes! 2011 Appraisal available for review.
