Creekside Home for Sale in Stillwater, MN | Liberty on the Lake

Where Time Slows Down: A Creekside Home at Liberty on the Lake

Do you remember the last time a place made you exhale the moment you arrived?

I've walked through a lot of homes in my 28+ years in this business, and I can usually tell within a few steps whether a place has that feeling. The one where your shoulders drop, your pace slows, and you start imagining your life there before you've even reached the kitchen. Walking into 3726 Planting Green, I felt it right away.

A Village That Feels Like Another Era

Liberty on the Lake has always reminded me of a small New England village. There's a sense of craftsmanship and care in this community that feels like it belongs to another time: thoughtful streetscapes, generous green space, and homes built with real quality. It's the kind of neighborhood people stay in for years, which is exactly why opportunities here are so rare.

Life Beside Moving Water

There's a certain quiet that only comes from living beside moving water. Here, a creek babbles through the back of the property, framed by mature trees and green space that seems to go on and on. The screen porch, deck, and covered lower patio all face that view, so whether it's morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, the creek is always part of the moment.

Built With Care, Finished With Heart

Inside, natural light fills the home and highlights finishes that are simply spectacular. Coffered ceilings and crown molding give the living room a quiet elegance, and a real stone fireplace makes it the natural gathering spot on cold Minnesota nights. The kitchen is the heart of it all, with warm knotty alder cabinetry, a granite island, and stainless appliances.

Four bedrooms and three baths give everyone space, and the main-floor primary suite makes everyday living easy now and for years to come. The walkout lower level is its own retreat, with heated floors, a second stone fireplace, a wet bar for hosting, and a covered patio that stays dry thanks to thoughtful underdecking.

Right-Sized for the Life You Want

As I write about in Are Your Roots Right?, the right home isn't about square footage. It's about how a space supports the way you want to live. This home offers room to gather and room to rest, nature at your doorstep, and downtown Stillwater's shops, restaurants, and river views just minutes away.

Built in 2008 and lovingly maintained, this home has already given one family its quiet mornings and gatherings by the fire. Now it's ready for its next chapter.

If you've been waiting for something truly one of a kind, this is it. Come walk through and see if you feel it too.
