Property Description
A well-maintained circa 1880s house in Grand Marais, with views of the bay and Lake Superior, and it comes with an additional 1/2 interest in a beachfront bay lot behind the house. This property has wonderful character, almost New England charm, with many traditional fixtures including a wood cook stove in the kitchen and a parlor stove in the parlor room. The house is solidly built and the floor boards are wide and thick, one floorboard measures 22 inches. Many windows have the original 1880s glass panes which provides for waves and more privacy than regular glass. With 3 bedrooms and a loft the house can accommodate up to 8 people in beds. The house also has a designated pantry, a laundry area, deck, and firepit in the yard, plus a garden shed. Wander down the stairs in the back yard and follow the natural trail to a private sand beach that spans 100' along the bay, and have that perfect view of the July 4 fireworks each year. It is great place for a quiet retreat, wandering the quiet beach. The beach is ideal for swimming, or for boats parked on or just a short way off-shore. Maybe add your own seasonal dock. At night, back up at the house, listen to the frogs from the water feature down back, or watch the deer eat the apples from the trees in fall. In summer you'll have a bunch of cherries to pick from the two cherry trees. The house itself has various forms of heating if you don't want to feed the gorgeous wood stoves, including additional eco heaters in most rooms and a wall propane heater in the kitchen. From the house it is a short distance to town along the road or beach, so no need to drive your car to the restaurants and bars. The house comes partially furnished, ready for use. The property has been a long-time vacation rental and guests have been allowed residential use access of the waterfront lot. There are only a finite number of homes with water views and water access in town. Make this one yours!
