Lake Lane is a beautiful street. Sitting still, soft, and serene in the sunlight, it is a street removed from life’s haste. Away from the rumblings of traffic, away from the honking of horns, away from the strain of fast-paced life, it presents a peaceful relief. Overlooking ponds and wildlife, the street’s pristine stillness is broken only by the occasional quack of a duck or croak of a frog. You’ll forget you’re only a short 15-minute drive away from both downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul, at your home nestled in a quiet place.

Just beyond the pond sprawl the sunny sands of Lake Josephine, to which the owner of the home enjoys deeded access. You’ll walk down to your dock, maybe go fishing, canoeing, or just enjoy a lazy afternoon swim. Further enhancing the neighborhood’s beauty, the area is dotted with parks.
