About This Home

Welcome to a rare opportunity on the shores of Manor Woods Lake, where modern living meets an everyday retreat. This beautifully updated home offers something truly hard to find in the area - private waterfront living on an 45-acre lake. Homes like this, on water, in this condition, and this close to the city, simply don’t come along often. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the pride of ownership. The exterior is clean and inviting, complemented by a brand-new roof for added peace of mind and an oversized 3-car garage, a rare and valuable feature for a home of this size. Step inside and you’re immediately greeted by a space that has been thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom. Every square inch has been maximized with intention, blending modern design, functionality, and comfort. The main level is designed for effortless living, featuring a light-filled open-concept layout, a stunning updated kitchen with a large island, and seamless flow between living and dining spaces, all perfectly positioned to capture stunning lake views. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a spacious bedroom, large walk-in closet, and a beautifully updated bathroom. Also on the main floor: a dedicated home office, convenient guest powder room, and everything needed for comfortable one-level living. Downstairs, the walkout lower level expands your lifestyle with three additional bedrooms, a cozy family room, and direct access to the backyard, ideal for guests, entertaining, or multi-generational living. With three fireplaces throughout the home, warmth and ambiance are never in short supply. The backyard opens to a flat, well maintained lawn leading to a paver patio at the water’s edge, perfect for relaxing evenings, morning coffee, or hosting unforgettable gatherings. The maintenance-free dock invites you to fully embrace lake life, whether that’s boating, paddleboarding, fishing, or simply soaking in the peaceful views as the seasons change. And while this home feels like a private escape, it’s just 5 minutes from downtown Rochester and the world-renowned Mayo Clinic, and within walking distance to the newly revitalized Cascade Lake area, offering trails, parks, and recreation right at your doorstep. Lake life is calling, and it’s closer than you think.
