Lake access, three-car garage, and a kitchen you'll want to cook in. Built in 2024 and barely broken in, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rambler sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in Elysian and checks every box for comfortable, everyday living. The open-concept layout flows naturally from the living room — anchored by a cozy gas fireplace — straight into a kitchen that was clearly designed with function in mind: granite countertops, a center island, stainless steel appliances, soft-close cabinetry, and a tile backsplash that ties it all together. The primary suite is tucked away with its own private bathroom and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath, and the main floor laundry round out a layout that just makes sense. The 3-stall attached garage is great asset — room for vehicles, lake toys, snowblowers, and everything else Minnesota throws at you. The full unfinished walkout basement is a blank canvas ready to double your living space whenever you're ready. Now the part that makes this one stand out: shared dock access on Lake Francis. One of the most sought-after lakes in Southern Minnesota, Francis is known for its clean water, great fishing, and the kind of summer days that make you forget you ever lived anywhere else. You get all of that without paying lakeshore prices. At $399,900 for a two-year-old home with Lake Francis access, a 3-car garage, and room to grow — this one is worth a look before someone else gets to it first.
