    This is the Madeline Island property you've been waiting for! Located less than a mile from town, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and stunning Lake Superior frontage. Oversized windows fill the home with natural light and bring the beauty of the outdoors inside, while more than 450 feet of private shoreline provides breathtaking lake views right outside your door. The shoreline has been protected with riprap to help preserve the integrity of the coast, and a newer dock and staircase leads to your sandy beach. Inside, a large loft offers flexible space for additional sleeping accommodations, a home office, or recreation area. Upper-level bedrooms feature private walkout balconies. Spectacular sunsets over Lake Superior can be seen from every room. Set on three separate lots totaling over 8 acres, the property is surrounded by mature trees and abundant wildlife, creating a peaceful and secluded retreat. Enjoy easy access to Madeline Island's shops, restaurants, and attractions while savoring the tranquility and serenity of your own private lakeside sanctuary.
