Lake Home For Sale

Step into history with this one-of-a-kind East Lake Okoboji property! Originally built in 1880 as a railroad depot, this remarkable home still showcases artifacts of its past--look up to see railroad tracks along the ceiling and admire the authentic Brian Greer tin ceiling tiles. Thoughtful remodels in 1954 and additions in 1999 have expanded the home while preserving its unique character. This single family 1 1/2 story home has 86' of LAKEFRONT, 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and nearly 6,000 finished SF. Soak in panoramic views of East Lake through massive Andersen windows and sliding doors. East facing property fills with morning sun and provides cool afternoon shade. Discover a 1940's style bar brought in from Bigelow, complete with a sink and a microwave drawer that tucks away seamlessly when not in use. On the bar, you'll find a photo book documenting the transformation of the depot into this special residence. Walk out to the lower patio, where you'll notice that you are PERCHED ABOVE THE SHORELINE for a truly elevated perspective. Take a seat and see for yourself! Two attached garages (570 SF + 560 SF) fit 3 vehicles comfortably. Located near parks, trails, and the endless entertainment of Arnolds Park, this home blends unique history with the modern lake lifestyle.
