    What's special

    Step into a storybook setting with this unique Hermantown haven, perfectly blending historic cottage appeal with vast acreage. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath gem offers an immediately inviting warmth and a rare level of detail throughout. The great room welcomes you with vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace with heat chamber, rich brick accents, and ash tongue-and-groove paneling. An acoustic-tiled ceiling and skylight add light and character, enhancing the home’s cozy elegance. The kitchen features quartz countertops installed just five years ago, tile flooring, and classic oak cabinetry, flowing into a dining room adorned with beautiful original hardwood floors. The main-floor bathroom—fully remodeled in 2020—creates a spa-like retreat with a jetted whirlpool tub, tile flooring, and a cedar ceiling. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes generous closet space plus a walk-in closet already plumbed for a potential third bathroom, making future expansion easy. The finished basement adds even more versatility with a 3-year-old epoxy floor, 2 bedrooms with egress and storage spaces. Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, and dreamers will love the impressive 36x57, 3+ car detached garage with a heated slab, dedicated workshop area, and a huge gambrel loft ready for finishing—imagine a studio, sport court, guest space, or creative haven. Outdoors, this property shines year-round. Enjoy a true Northland wood-fired sauna with a dressing room, running water, and a cozy loft above. In winter, a lighted pond creates a magical skating spot, while warmer months bring mowed trails through the pines, perennial gardens, mature fruit trees, and abundant raspberries and blackberries. More than 6,000 new Spruce and Norway Pines have been planted over the past decade, enhancing the property’s beauty and privacy. The original home was built in the early 1900s; major addition and remodel completed in fall 1992. Upon acceptable offer, the seller will install a new septic system for a 4-bedroom home and a new blacktopped driveway over the portion that will be disturbed during septic installation.
