After 40 years this treasured Chisago City historical home is available for your family! Though it is a century old and retains the beauty and features of a historical property, it also has been expertly redesigned and updated to include the modern conveniences to meet the needs of the dynamic lifestyle of today’s modern family.
Designed for Entertaining With over 4,000 finished square feet and an acre of property, this home is perfect for those who love to entertain! With two family rooms, a huge eat-in kitchen, a 3-season porch, formal dining and living rooms plus a huge back deck, backyard and private tennis/basketball court, there is plenty of room for any sized group to be entertained in style and comfort. Overnight guests are not a problem as the lower level is perfectly designed for hosting short or long term visitors as it features a Murphy Bed, his and hers closet/drawers and a ¾ bath complete with full sauna.
Historical Significance Keeping guests happy has always been a part of this home’s history. The home was constructed for Frank Dahl in 1910 when the historic Dahl House resort was in its heyday as a summer get away for Minnesota’s rich and famous. (Though the resort has been gone for decades, its brick gateway still stands just a few hundred feet east of this home.) The prairie-style design of this house was obviously influenced by the architectural innovations of Frank Lloyd Wright as evidenced by its strong linear lines, extended roof overhangs, and the use of built-ins, window benches, and high windows. Though remodeled by the current owners to add an attached garage, expanded kitchen and main floor family room, every attempt was to make certain the historical beauty of the home was not only retained but also enhanced.
Updated to meet the needs of Today’s Family Throughout the home there are updates that show the home was designed to meet the needs and wants of today's modern family. These conveniences include a full kitchen remodel with granite counters, custom cherry cabinetry and tile floors with in-floor heating, a main floor family room with built-ins designed to accommodate an over-sized television, a full finished basement with living space for guests and an attached heated, insulated 4-stall garage with attic storage, a double and single garage doors in the front and a tandem single door out the back.

I have some down time today so I am doing some housework. I am cleaning my desk! (Sorry ladies)
I have been throwing out a lot of old papers, magazines and a bunch of stuff just making a mess. I even grabbed a pile of Birthday Cards I got this year. I mean, what do you do with the cards after a few days. I know people who save all of them in boxes. WHY?
Oh well, it is their space they are cluttering up.
I was reading some of them and got one that I know many will find amusing. It is that kind of a day. I get a lot of Nature cards and this is one could be me right on the front cover...
I really do hate when this happens!

Well, it was a great day yesterday to spend some time with an old friend.
We had not seen each other in a while and because I had an appointment not far from him, I called.
When his wife answered the phone and said he was not home I asked where did he go.
There was a moment of silence..."Bill, do you really need to ask?"
That was all I needed. After my appointment I drove to the frozen water near his home. I am still a bit chicken about the ice, so I walked out to his house about a quarter of a mile off shore.
We drowned a few minnows and a sorrow or two.
The two hour break was a good change of pace for both of us.
This is not his house but for those of you who live in the warmer climates...Yes, we do put houses on the ice.

I am getting a head start on this Hallmark/Hershey's Holiday that was made strictly to punish us men and make huge profits for the makers.
If you want to stay married or want to keep your girl friend, I would suggest you stay away from a few of these when she is around!
It doesn't matter how many times a man changes jobs, is still has the same Boss!
They call our language the Mother tongue, because the father seldom gets a chance to speak.
One woman's hobby is another woman's hubby.
I recently read that Love is entirely chemistry, that is why my wife treats me like toxic waste.
A man is incomplete until he marries. After that he is FINISHED!
Marriage is when a man and woman become one. The trouble starts when they try to figure out which one.
Marriage is made in heaven, but, then again so are lightening and thunder.
If you want your wife to pay strict attention to every word you-say...just talk in your sleep.
Marriage is where one person is always right and the other one is the Husband.
My wife and I always compromise. I admit I am wrong and she agrees with me!
I am an Excellent Housekeeper. Every time I get divorced, I keep the house.
When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, one thing is for sure...Either the car is new or the wife!
OK, now I know I will catch Hell, but hey...I did last time and the Ladies here were great about defending themselves.
Let the fun begin! I am Ducking and Weaving!
Happy Valentines Ladies!!!!

3 clients, 11 homes shown, one 2nd show set for tomorrow...it has been a great day.
I even had time to do a bit on the 'honey do' list.
But now it is time to settle in for the night.
I know that a bag of something that will harden my arteries is step one and then something to wash it down.
My buddy here has the right idea...
I like his approach.
