Hidden gem in downtown Lutsen with breathtaking year round views of Lake Superior and Peek-A-Boo view of Lutsen Mountains (watch the groomers at night!). This Scandinavian designed home is cozy and efficient with southern exposure that brings extra warmth in the winter combined with an efficient designed fireplace to heat the home and save on utility bills. Enjoy this warm inviting home with maple hardwood floors, pine vaulted ceilings and rooms with so much versatility. The main living area offers year round panoramic lake views. The kitchen is updated and efficient. When you are in the kitchen you always have access to others in the dining/living area as well as windows directly to the deck which makes you feel always a part of guests' enjoyment. The upper level can be an extra living space or bedroom with 1/2 bath and walk in closet with spectacular Lake Superior and forest views. The cozy office space can surely accommodate work from home or a crafters delight with built in desk and shelving - and Lutsen Mountain views! The lower level has to be the coziest with a refurbished "fire place room" that walks out to the paver patio. The room currently used as a "family" room could also serve as an extra bedroom. The oversized garage has attic storage (which with extra support could be turned into an additional living space). Moving to the outdoors, there is an insulated bunkhouse with kitchen and 1/4 bath (which could be converted to a sauna), amongst perennial gardens and two vegetable gardens. Two seasonal creeks run through the property that can be heard from the deck or through open windows as well as the sounds of Lake Superior roaring in those late November storms. A great place to watch ships, enjoy the serenity of the outdoors, relax, rejuv and also PLAY! as it has direct access to the snowmobile trail, and minutes to almost any outdoor activity you want to enjoy. Live the dream! Seller is a Licensed Real Estate Agent.
