A class-act home on Gitche Gumee with both beach and ledgerock shoreline. Bracketed by two of the Shore’s best State Parks: Split Rock Light House and Gooseberry Falls. A quarter mile to a Lake Superior DNR boat launch. A stroll to Iona’s Beach Scientific Natural area, so named after early resort owner Iona Lind who knew a gem when she saw it, and knew even better to bequeath it all to the public when she retired. Location? You betcha! The bike trail is right at the end of the driveway. The property feels expansive and restful. Many of the shore’s primo locales have old cabins or remodeled beasts on them, as the best spots were taken early. Here is an exception: a modern home built by one of the Shore’s master craftsman as his own home on an outstanding stretch of shoreline and woods. The current owners’ schedule have not allowed for the fun getaways the home was planned for, so it is ready for you. A living room full of Amish Arts and Crafts style furnishings are included in the sale. Much more can be included – the place is turn-key! Just show up, relax and get back to the basics: family, reading, dreaming, crafting the meals you never have time for. The finish quality is top-notch: built-in cabinetry throughout, wood floors, tiled bathroom, granite counter tops, classy fireplaces, ceiling cove molding – when a master builds, he does it lovingly and right! There is a four season sun-room with commanding views of the Big Lake. It’s the place for getting to know all that world class freshwater: the ever changing light, the moody storms, the deep bass rollers pulsing - putting one’s mind to ease. The kitchen is large, the kitchen is light-filled, the kitchen has a spacious corner cushioned banquette for dining, the kitchen Rocks! 3 generous bedrooms. 3 bathrooms: one half and two full with heated floors. Open dining area with custom glass-fronted cabinets defining the entry. Peaceful den/office complete with Murphy Bed for guests. Mudroom and laundry conveniently located between kitchen and garage. The living room is a place of quiet contentment or raucous gathering. Downstairs a family room complete with wet-bar is perfect for the big game, the kids, or movie night – walk out to take in the stars. Attached, over-sized two car garage. Also, detached garage with workshop! Greenhouse and gardens. Couldn’t build all this for the money today, and besides when could you find a builder to do it? Iona knew the right place and so will you.
