52 W Chandler St, Ely, MN 55731

This well cared for and updated residence is one of the early developments in the area. Ely was in the beginnings of growth and the first settlement was known as "Chandler". The two homes are constructed with vertical fir/cedar log in Finnish style construction and rock foundations. The main home features an eat-in kitchen with newer laminate flooring, 3/4 bath, and living room studio with new carpet and sliding patio doors to the large deck. The meticulous basement has a new egress window, an open bedroom and laundry room. Architectural shingles, half log siding, newer forced air furnace, updated electric, and blown in ceiling insulation. The 2 room guest cabin named "Peregrine" features large windows, laminate flooring, newer paint, updated electrical and fixtures. Open basement and direct walk out access to the yard. The Cedar shake siding, red trim, and newer 12 x 16 deck add to the existing charm. The shape of the original sauna is amazing, tucked into a private part of the property. Rough cut cedar construction, restored original barrel wood stove, traditional screen door, and steel roof. Small detached garage with workshop features Cedar log, rough cut Cedar, and a steel roof. Situated on 4 city lots with a mature forest of Pine, Birch, Maple and Cedar trees. Both quiet and privately located between Shagawa and Miners Lake in the City. Endless recreational options close by: Trezona trail, Mesabi bike trail, Public landings for Shagawa and Miners Lake, and Semer's park/beach. Only the second time ever offered on the open market: years of protective care, restoration, updates and history make this a unique and special property.
