A lake home for the ages! This Lutsen Log Home on Caribou Lake was crafted by Senty Log Homes of Grand Marais in 2006. Large log courses and long runs add a flare of drama and permanence to this lakeside gem. The glass wall prow invites all the moods of the lake and surrounding forest into the home. Massive log purlins fly through the cathedral ceiling. A stone fireplace anchors the living room and creates just the right vibe, especially when the gales of November come early! Four bedrooms one of which is a large lofted space that includes a spacious bathroom. Three bathrooms create plenty of elbow room for family and guests. The kitchen is class-act, with room for everyone milling around visiting the cook and lots of storage in the custom cherry cabinetry. The floors are hickory and toasty with an in-floor heating system. The sprawling deck is the place for family gatherings, BBQ, meals, or just soakin’ in the sun. Screen porch is adjacent to the deck for a more civilized outdoor experience. Plenty of room here, 3200 finished square feet. No need to be right on top of each other. Privacy for guests and several locales could become the home office or craft room. Downstairs is a walk-out family room with plenty of natural lighting entering the bank of windows. Tiled floors downstairs, paneled ceilings, and a gas fireplace. The lakeshore drops off nicely into the cool waters of Caribou Lake. Good place for swimming and deep so the prop won’t get mangled on the rocks. Caribou itself meanders all around its Northwoods neighborhood, with lots of nooks and crannies to explore, fish, ski- whatever your lake interest, Caribou can accommodate. The surrounding forest around the home is mature, diverse and provides a nice buffer for privacy. An ample garage with attic room completes the built environment and compliments any hobby, toy storage or man-cave/she-shed dream that can be imagined. Just about at the end of dead-end White Sky Trail, the home sits on a very quiet lot. Dual-fuel heating system is easy on the pocket book. Superior Hiking Trail is a half mile away, the ski hill and golf course 15 minutes. State snowmobile trail, just up the road. BWCA very close. This is a dreamy kind of place: the old log ways from time immemorial combined with contemporary methods of soaring glass, state of the art appliances, and fiber optics. Northwoods Modern!
