Architectural Tofte Masterpiece! Dramatic, Gitche-Gumee Ledgerock, easily accessible. Including a protected pool for launching kayaks, or for the brave, a quick dip (be sure the sauna is fired up!) Terrific views sweeping along all that freshwater, safely deposited after the last ice age. 5 bedroom, 4 bath, to die for kitchen! The home has been meticulously cared for and loved. Nothing to do, but show up and live the north shore: stargaze, paddle, wood-smoked s’mores, bike-path at the end of the driveway, brisk fall walk to Coho for coffee and a treat… The list is endless. Inside, the home is endless, room for everyone! Within all that space are: nooks with fireplaces, a recessed seating area for those important conversations that only the Big Lake can stir, a whole lower level that can function on its own with kitchenette, family room, a couple bedrooms, bathroom: good separation when the kids come with the grands and nap-time requires privacy. Carleton Peak granite stone columns soar through the home, energizing with earth’s ancient vibes. The main bedroom has it all: private balcony, gas fireplace, spacious walk-in closet, large private bath with jacuzzi tub. One of the upper bedrooms can handle a whole posse of grandkids! A sprawling deck overlooks the yard and shore. Opposite side are more decks and a paver driveway inviting you home each day and welcoming your guests in class-act fashion. A vast array of windows purposefully placed to take in all the action: the moods of Superior, breezes, the booming rollers of November, fall colors, ore boats lumbering by. Red Pines and Spruce, Maples and Birch, Aspen and Ash, surround the home in sylvan benevolence. Out back is a spacious pole barn for all the toys and tools. An awesome property in the Northwoods! Peaceful, away from the madness, a place on the shore close to all that is good, sweet and invigorating.
