Charming 2-Story Home on Paula Street – A Private Retreat Just Minutes from Town
Welcome to this timeless 1976 two-story home, nestled on a serene 1.05-acre lot surrounded by mature trees that provide natural shade, privacy, and wind protection. Located just minutes from Detroit Mountain and right off the newly repaved Highland Drive, this home offers quick and easy access to downtown Detroit Lakes, as well as Highways 10 and 34.
Featuring 4 spacious bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this home offers over 2,100 square feet of living space—perfect for large or growing families. The main level boasts an open-concept layout with hardwood floors flowing through the kitchen and family room. A large picture window brings in natural light, while a cozy fireplace adds warmth and charm. French doors lead to a stunning 16' x 16' vaulted-ceiling addition—ideal as a sunroom, playroom, or additional gathering space.
You'll also enjoy a third generously sized living room, which connects to a formal dining area or optional den. Two gas fireplaces ensure warm and inviting winter evenings throughout the home.
Outside, the property shines with a 3-stall attached garage and a massive detached steel utility building (added in 2017). One side of this building is heated—ready to be transformed into a workshop, art studio, or personalized retreat. An 8’x10’ storage shed is also included, perfect for keeping tools and equipment out of sight.
Private septic and well systems are conveniently located on the lot, giving you self-sufficient living with room to roam.
Don’t miss your chance to make this peaceful retreat your forever home—where every day feels like a getaway, right in your own backyard!
