24952 Crescent View Rd, Paynesville, MN 56362

Perched above the sparkling waters of Rice Lake, this beautifully updated home offers a rare combination of privacy, comfort, and breathtaking lake views. Tucked away on a quiet, low-traffic road, the setting provides a peaceful retreat where the elevated position rewards you with panoramic views of the lake. From the moment you arrive, the home's curb appeal stands out with LP® engineered SmartSide® siding, complementary vinyl siding on the garage, brick accents, seamless gutters, colored stamped concrete, a concrete driveway, and fully landscaped. A covered front porch and covered entryway, both finished with maintenance-free composite decking, create a warm and inviting first impression. Outdoor living is a highlight of this property. Multiple entertaining spaces, including a 10' x 28' composite deck, a second lakeside deck, and a 13' x 27' stamped and colored concrete patio, offer endless opportunities to relax, dine, or gather with friends while taking in the stunning lake views. The dock and boat lift may remain with the property, making it easy to enjoy everything Rice Lake has to offer. An enclosed 24' x 10' porch on the back side of the garage provides another comfortable vantage point overlooking the water, extending your enjoyment of the outdoors through multiple seasons. The 13' x 15' accessory shed features an overhead door, concrete floor, and electricity, providing excellent space for storage, hobbies, or workshop use. Inside, nearly every aspect of the home has been updated and enhanced. The kitchen showcases beautiful custom hickory cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a water filtration system beneath the sink. LED recessed lighting illuminates much of the home, while dual-pane windows provide energy efficiency and abundant natural light. The main level offers three bedrooms, all equipped with ceiling fans, along with three bathrooms for exceptional convenience. The spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat featuring a freestanding electric fireplace, patio door access to a covered 6' x 18' composite porch, a walk-in closet with custom organizers, and a luxurious ensuite bath complete with a soaking tub, tiled walk-in shower with glass enclosure, double-sink custom vanity, tiled flooring, and private pocket-door access to the closet. Throughout the home, quality craftsmanship is evident in the pine two-panel doors and trim details. Double French doors elegantly separate the newer addition from the original home, creating a seamless blend of character and expanded living space. Two brand-new patio doors installed in 2026, along with three double patio doors overall, frame the lake views and provide direct access to the outdoor living areas. The living spaces are equally impressive. A beautiful corner gas fireplace with a wood mantel and stone surround anchors the main-level living room, while a freestanding gas fireplace with decorative tile backdrop creates a cozy atmosphere in the family room. Because the home features both a main-level family room and a large lower-level family room/bonus room, the main family room could easily be repurposed as an expansive dining area if desired. The lower level continues to impress with in-floor heat throughout the newer addition, knotty pine doors, trim, and baseboards, knockdown ceiling texture, and a spacious family room where even the lower-level windows capture views of the lake. A second washer and dryer area is conveniently located beneath the stairs and may remain with the home. Comfort and efficiency have been carefully considered. The original portion of the home is served by a forced-air furnace, while the addition features a high-efficiency forced-air furnace and central air conditioning. Additional mechanical upgrades include an on-demand water heater, Kinetico water softener, Fantech heat recovery ventilator, and LP fuel service. Check out the aerial view via the virtual tour link.
