Modern Scandinavian, Class-Act Timber-Frame on the shores of Lake Superior! Oversized lot with 300’ of beach and nearly 6 acres: tough to find this kind of elbow room on the Big Lake. Close to Schroder, Caribou Falls and Sugarloaf Cove. Lovingly maintained, the home has just been re-stained and a brand new septic system will last for years. The timber-frame detailing inside invites the eye to many well-crafted, beautiful joints, supports and vaulting beams. The bones of this home are on display, evoking a sense of solidity, especially when the ‘noreastes are howling. SIP panels fill in the frame providing excellent insulation. Tiled and maple floors create clean lines. Majestic, stone fireplace anchors the home, throwing light and warmth to accompany conversation, hot chocolate, or cribbage in the living room. Or doing nothing while relaxing in this lofted timber-frame space allowing the myriad ways of Superior to infuse your psyche. From the living room pop-out on the expansive deck for drinks, BBQ or to listen to the wave action. The primary bedroom also opens to the deck for a morning wake-up in the robe with coffee. Or skip the robe, it’s that private! The primary bedroom is a tableaux of firm timbers, airy, light-filled space, with spacious closet and to-die for bathroom: soaker tub, oversized shower. The basics are well thought out: a practical mudroom welcomes you home. Laundry and pantry grease the wheels of everyday life. Architectural stairway is a highlight, going up to a showcase of timber-frame ingenuity: angles and junctions covering the large loft. Dormer overlooks the inland sea: a perfect office nook. Below is walk-out space filled with Great Lakes light. There’s a family room for movie watching or getting rowdy watching the game. Another bedroom below is quiet and private: perhaps where the visiting babes are sequestered to nap. Another large bath sporting a roomy sauna: soak in the warmth after a winter’s day. The large attached garage is handy and a room above awaits your vision: crafts, guest room, studio. The pole barn is a dream for bigger projects and safely housing the toys. Home has toasty in-floor heat, two boilers, air exchanger. Old cabin, sauna and wash-house are being removed by family member. A grand, timbered home on Gitche Gumee, woodsmoke in the air, waves rolling on the beach: this is the one, the dream of a place for the whole crew in the cool, pure environment of Minnesota’s North Shore.
