1323 Queen Street 71

Tucked quietly along a private road, where the world seems to slow and the sounds of the city gently fade away, there's a place on Alder Lake that feels like it was meant to be discovered, not just visited. Mornings begin softly as the lake reflects the sky and the first light stretches across the water. Coffee tastes better on the dock, wrapped in quiet, with nothing but the ripple of the lake and the distant call of wildlife. This freehold detached home offers a rare kind of flexibility: a year-round residence that lives like a cottage retreat. Inside, every inch has been thoughtfully designed to feel warm, welcoming, and functional. Natural light pours through the windows, drawing your eyes toward the lake, especially from the primary bedroom, where the view is breathtaking. The heart of the home is a charming eat-in kitchen, perfect for slow mornings, casual dinners, and everything in between. With two bedrooms and a beautifully finished bathroom, the space feels cozy, calm, and easy to maintain, leaving more time to enjoy where you are. Step outside and the lifestyle truly unfolds. A fully screened gazebo becomes your second living room for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evening conversations. The patio and outdoor shower extend your connection to nature, while the private dock invites you onto the water, offering a front-row seat to the ever-changing beauty of the lake. Adding to the versatility is a temperature-controlled outbuilding, currently used as an office but ready to become whatever you need it to be: a creative studio, workshop, or quiet retreat for work and hobbies. Just beyond this peaceful setting, the city remains close enough to keep life convenient. This is a place for early risers and sunset watchers. For those who crave quiet without isolation. For anyone who's imagined trading noise for nature without giving anything up. Welcome to life on Alder Lake.
