When a custom builder creates a home for themselves, get ready for something special. Here is that home! The lot is choice: end of the road, abutting public land, with trails leading up to Pincushion Mt and beyond. 2.2 acres of forest, yard and gardens. A sweet little creek offers music, including a waterfall. Private back here, but not far from all the delight and action of America’s Coolest Small Town – Grand Marais. Hop on your bike like the current owners, and in five minutes you’ll land at The Angry Trout for dinner. All is well-loved, the sellers want to hand it off in good order – including 3-4 years of split firewood for the workhorse woodstove in the living room! New roof in the past few weeks! Additional recent updates keep your mind at ease and able to focus on the fun and interest of a Northwoods life. Many unique features crafted by a visionary builder: custom kitchen cabinets, tasteful built-ins throughout, kitchen countertops of dyed concrete, cathedral ceilings, skylights, bathrooms fully detailed, tiled and bamboo floors. The living room opens to an expansive decking system that ties the studio space above the garage to the main home. Feels like tree-house living, especially near the beautiful larch tree filtering light. Nature lovers check out the solarium! Includes a heated built-in planter, home to an old-growth jade symbolic of the love and life that thrives at this property. Plenty of space: two bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, and a den or office, up to you. The family room has a kitchenette and gas fireplace. Family games or movie watching works well. Or, easy enough to section off that area and create an inlaw’s crashpad or rental. The upper bedrooms have intersecting rooflines creating a sense of loftiness, movement and style. Paneled ceilings, arched windows, the embellishments are too numerous – must see to appreciate. Builder was also into energy efficiency – easy on the pocketbook with high efficiency propane boiler running in-floor heat throughout the home and in the garage. Enjoy the woodstove and save even more! Come experience the seasons here. They’re most readily marked by a series of hopps plants that journey each year up the solarium and onward along lines to the roof – filtering light all summer into the kitchen and solarium. Then coming down in winter to unveil distant views to the Big Lake. Perfect combo of woods-living, near town, in custom style!
