This is truly a one of a kind home that you don't want to miss! Originally owned by the Skaug brothers and built in 1902, Deerfield operated as a general store servicing the Hiawatha National Forest from its main structure, warehouse, icehouse and captain's quarters. Clipper ships frequently brought materials from ports in Wisconsin and Illinois providing goods to those working in the lumber camps. This property was purchased by the current owners in 1985 and was brought up to today's standards. It was operated as a photography school for most of the 90s and used as a retirement home after. The majority of the main floor is a large open kitchen, dining and living area with tin that covers the 12 ft walls and ceiling. High shelving covers two walls and is accessed by original tracked ladders that will take you back in time. There are beautiful oak and maple hardwood floors throughout. A 5 foot tall acorn wood burning stove sits in the back to provide additional heat. There is a large main floor bedroom and ¾ bath. Upstairs you will find an additional living space with a half bath off of it and 3 more bedrooms. The walk out basement takes you to a deck with beautiful views of Little Bay de Noc. The exterior is only 5 years old and the roof is new in 2019. There is approx 80 ft of frontage to access and enjoy the lake. Besides a few personal items, everything in the home will stay with the sale. You are going to fall in love with the unique and charming features of this property!
