With stunning views of Lake Superior and 350' of lake frontage, this charming cottage offers year-round living and is conveniently located about halfway between Houghton and Baraga. The living room features large picture windows facing the lake, knotty-pine paneling, and a cozy fireplace insert. There are hard wood floors in the front entry way and under the carpet in the living room. Two spacious bedrooms with big closets. Large, eat-in kitchen takes advantage of lake views as well. The tile backsplash has sandstone details. 3/4 bath has stackable laundry and access to the boiler. Outside, you'll feel like you're on the prow of a ship while gazing out to the lake from the 16x24 deck. A wide trail leads down to the lower bluff which has a wonderful spot to relax by the fire pit and enjoy the gorgeous views of the lake, the bluff, Rabbit Island and the South Entry lighthouse in the distance. You'll catch glimpses of eagles soaring by and nesting on the property. Access to the water is possible with some creativity. Sellers used a ladder. You'll enjoy a bounty of thimbleberries each summer and apples in the fall. Many gorgeous gardens include lupine, azalea, rhododendron, peonies, and so much more. Crawl space access from a trap door in kitchen and from the exterior. All windows, roof, and garage with a heated 12x17 guest bedroom above new in 1999. Boiler new in 2007. Water heater new in 2024.
