About This Home
Welcome to lake life on beautiful Lake Brophy! This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom walkout rambler brings all the relaxed, up-north charm with the comfort of a thoughtfully designed home. Set on a gently sloping lot just steps from the water, you’ll love the easy access to the lake—complete with a wide, gradual shoreline & a shelf at the lake, giving you easy access for swimming & boating. Inside, large windows frame peaceful lake views and fill the home with natural light. The open layout makes it easy to gather, whether you’re hosting a weekend crew or enjoying family time. The kitchen features warm cherry cabinetry and Cambria countertops, flowing seamlessly into the dining & living area with access to the deck—ideal for grilling, west-facing sunset dinners, or simply soaking in the view. The landscape has been created by a master gardener & feature an ever-changing tapestry of established perennials and a variety of trees, offering season-long color, texture, and harvest. The walkout lower level offers additional living space and easy access to the outdoors, making it a great setup for lake days. A 2-stall attached garage, plus a lakeside tuck-under garage for all the lake toys, is an added perk. Lake Brophy offers a quieter, more relaxed setting, with connections to nearby waterways perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking, and canoeing adventures, not to mention a great fishery. Just across the lake is Lake Brophy County Park, which spans over 160 acres with a sandy beach, playground, and miles of hiking and biking trails that connect to the Central Lakes Trail. Whether you’re looking for a year-round home or a weekend escape, this property delivers the kind of lake life people come to Alexandria for.
