Don Maietta, a sales agent and resident, said a big draw is the community.
“You can’t moor a boat, but you can launch canoes, kayaks, and there’s a bench where you can throw a line with the grand kids,” he said.
Maietta has a 3,450-square-foot unit on the market for $634,900. The listing, at 4733 Bouleau Road, has an oversized three-car garage and is one of the largest floorplans in the community. He also listed a smaller, one-level unit in the same community that’s now pending at $569,900. Both, Maietta said, have seasonal glimpses of the lake.
“Everybody in this community gets the views and aesthetics of Birch Lake,” he said. “It has an up-north feel. It’s really engulfed in trees and ponds, and it feels very much like northern Minnesota without having to drive three hours to enjoy it.”
At the the Cloisters townhomes in White Bear Lake, residents have access to a private walking path along the shore of Birch lake. (Spacecrafting)
