Terrific opportunity to own a 3 bedroom, 3 bath home on nearly 2 acres, very close to all the action and fun of Grand Marais! Nicely nestled in a boreal forest among lofty red pines. Some views to Lake Superior and a good amount of lawn for open space. Current owners have done a lot of updating including a super cute, finished space in the lower level adjacent to a newly remodeled bathroom. Next owners just get to show up and start living their dream! Commercial zoning allows for many visions. Brand new detached garage building is ultra handy here in the Northwoods – rear portion is a heated workout space to create that body equity to keep on chugging along happily into your North Shore life! Attached single car garage protects the car on those big snow days and sure is handy for unloading the groceries. Inside is a thoughtful arrangement of colors and textures that brings liveliness and comfort to the home. Hardwood floors are warm on the footsies. Tiled floors in the kitchen and entry are classy. Master crafted stone fireplace introduces a geologic flare into everyday life. Wood paneled walls are soothing. Three bedrooms provide lots of room for the crew. Or, make one of them an office. In addition to the recently remodeled space below, there is a ton of storage, workshop area and additional entry to the attached garage. Front deck is a nice place to laze away a day with a good book and a nap. Out back in the woods is a sauna to cleanse the pores, invigorate the blood, and re-align after a long day at work or a chilly ski in the country. Just a couple minutes from the center of Grand Marais, it’s easy to hit town for a meal or concert, then ramble home. Recently inspected septic is compliant. Geothermal heat pump is gentle on the pocketbook. Nice price for a home in Cook County! The home, forest and land have settled in nicely with each other. They await their next steward to continue the tradition of good living near the cool airs of the Big Lake, near to one of America’s Coolest Small Towns – Grand Marais!
