Serenity awaits you in this turn-key charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath, year-round Lutsen home, located on Tait Lake. The property features 190 ft. of shoreline with 2.9 acres and is in a peaceful bay on the north side of the lake, with the Tait River gently running along the western edge of the property, providing tons of privacy. This sweet home is a great size, whether you are looking for a cabin or a home and with broadband, you can easily work remotely. The galley style kitchen has an abundant mix of maple cabinets, a pantry, and dishwasher, plus there is a laundry closet, complete with a laundry tub. The great room accommodates your dining and living needs while featuring a vaulted pine ceiling, lots of south-facing wall of windows and a wood-burning stove, which provides plenty of heat in the middle of winter. There is a large loft that overlooks the great room, and it is nice for overflow sleeping space or storage. The spacious master bedroom could be a large bunkroom or just a nice space to enjoy a book and relax. There is a breezeway/screen porch that connects the main cabin with an incredibly sunny & private 3rd bedroom. The lot is nicely wooded with a healthy mix of mature trees, which provides habitat for lots of wildlife, especially the birds. Tait Lake represents the essence of nature's pure beauty and peacefulness. When you step out your door, you have direct access to many beautiful HOA maintained hiking & biking trails or you can launch your kayak onto the sparkling waters of the lake. AND you are moments away from direct BWCA access, many premiere fishing lakes and it is really close to Eagle Mountain, the highest point in the state of MN. Come and check it out!
