By the lake, and an easier NO WORK LIFESTYLE:

• A waterfront development lying directly on the east shore of Lake Irving within the City of Bemidji.  Other condos in the Irvingboro area do not own waterfront and must drive to the marina for boating use.
• Each home is part of a twelve unit condominium (common interest community).  As a condominium, residents own the inside of their unit, the structure and grounds are owned and managed by an owners’ association.
• All outside work will be done for Shoreacres residents as part of a monthly condo fee.

Lakes Irving/Bemidji:

• Shoreacres Gardens enjoys 140’ of OWNED, PRIVATE, quality sand bottom shoreline on Lake Irving.
• Lake Irving (the first lake on the Mississippi) is a small lake with about 660 acres, and is connected by a short, easily navigable river channel to much larger Lake Bemidji (6500 acres).  Click on additional lake information in Irvingboro lakeside neighborhood.

Neighborhood:

• Shoreacres Gardens may be the last major project to be built in the Irvingboro neighborhood, which has been constructed all new since 1992.
• This new condo development lies adjacent to the south of Lakehaven Condominium and just west of other condos/CICs.

Site features:

• A new seasonal boat dock has been installed on the lake frontage with 10 boat slips available for Shoreacres owners (a private marina).  A crank up lift is required.
• There is a large, open, commons area by the lake for games, campfires, picnics, and off-season lift storage.
• The five plus acre site will be limited to only 12 well spaced condo units, is wooded with  several scenic oak groves, and has plenty of lawn area for recreation.  The property is fairly level but gradually slopes down toward the lake starting by units 5/6 and 7/8.
• Shoreacres has all new city sewer and water mains, and normal city services (all underground) for electricity, natural gas, phone and cable (including fast internet).
• Each townhome unit has its own separate utility connections and metering.
• Several attractive flower gardens have been placed on the property to enhance the quality appearance, lighted brick entry gates and an irrigation system will keep the grounds looking good.
• Two 20’ wide private asphalt streets (Shoreacres Ct. and Old Rail Way) with street lighting will provide access to the units.

Standard Construction:

• Primarily 2 x 6 exterior walls (R19 insulation), R50 ceilings
• Prefabricated floor and roof trusses, CertainTeed Landmark shingles
• Vinylite high performance casement windows and doors
• Full, insulated concrete form (called ICF – poured concrete in foam shells) basements cost more but provide warm, dry lower levels.  Units 1-3 have 8’ clear ceiling height, egress window for another bedroom; basement bath stubbed in, and is ready for framing and finishing.  Units 11 & 12 use the same construction but have about a 4’ crawl space with concrete floor because of lower elevation above the lake.
• A valued builder specialty:  Construction with absolutely NO ENTRY STEPS on the main level.
• A host of amenities include oak six panel doors and oak trim, 9’ ceilings, extra large windows for light and view, and unique closet pantry in deluxe kitchen
• Insulated and finished attached double garage (8’ height door) with opener
• High efficiency forced air gas furnace, air exchanger, and central air conditioning
• Oak kitchen cabinetry and counter seating, big closets with wire shelving
• All kitchen appliances included (range, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher)

• “Shakertown” grey vinyl shake siding with white accents, soffets and gutters (will provide different look to this development)
• Extraordinary landscaping includes sod and seeded lawn, Norway pines, Spruce and leaf trees, perimeter shrubs and crushed rock around units.
