About this home
This charming residence built in 1915 is rich with history and was featured on the White Bear Lake Historical Society Tour in 2017. Inside, a rustic charm shines with details like the staircases’ original farmhouse light fixture – once holding candlesticks, now converted to electric. The open family room is highlighted by a vaulted wood-beam ceiling and a warm brick fireplace. The updated kitchen flows into a convenient wet bar area complete with built-in wine storage and a wine cooler. Enjoy multi-season living in the light-filled sunroom leading out to the back deck. Set on a sprawling lot of just over half an acre, the property features a fully chain-link fenced yard with peaceful, tree-lined views. Multiple cozy bedrooms offer bright natural light, and one main-level bedroom has been plumbed for laundry, adding flexibility for single-level living. Nestled in a prime location close to local amenities, parks, and White Bear Lake - don't miss this beautiful home!

White Bear, located between Downtown White Bear Lake and the shores of White Bear Lake, is a lakeside and small-town White Bear Lake neighborhood with a walkable main street and a chain of parks along the water. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Washington Avenue and 4th Street, where patios, coffee counters, and locally run storefronts set a steady, day-to-evening rhythm. Historic frame houses and classic lake cottages mix with tidy mid-century homes on leafy blocks. The lakefront shapes daily routines with marinas, fishing piers, and shoreline paths. White Bear Center for the Arts anchors the cultural calendar with exhibitions and classes. Washington Square and Cup and Cone serve as familiar gathering spots for a casual bite or a cone after a loop by the water.
