Quality Build on Lake Superior

A well constructed 2-3 bedroom home located on 2 Acres with 200ft of Lake Superior frontage. The newer construction was done in 2005 and was built to be attached to the original 1950's cottage. The original cottage would make an ideal in-law suite or could easily be blocked off from the main home to create a possible rental space with its own private entry. The original cottage has a small kitchen, sitting area, 1-bedroom and 1-bathroom which includes a sauna & shower.
The newer solidly constructed home was crafted by Middleton Builders. No short cuts or attention to detail was overlooked. You can see the builder’s skills throughout the home with beautiful wood floors, hand-made cabinetry, heavy pocket doors and handsome staircase. The main entry to the house opens to the beautiful staircase. To the left is a pantry with beautifully built cabinets providing plenty of storage. Through another pocket door is an ample laundry/mud room that has its own entrance door off the garage. To the right of the staircase is a large open eat-in kitchen with plenty of cabinets and counter space. The kitchen/dining area is open to a large living room with gorgeous wood paneling and floors. The primary bedroom and bathroom are just off the living room with plenty of space, a closet and handicap accessible bathroom shower. Connected between the laundry room and the primary bedroom is a nice 9x9 room ideal for a home office, sitting room, sewing room, reading nook, etc. At the top of the staircase you will find an exceptional in-home library. The well-built library shelves with gallery lighting will not only hold books, but would make an exceptional place to display art, a rock or album collection, or other prized possessions. If you don’t have a use for this many shelves, they could be removed and the space be revamped into another use or an additional bedroom. On the other side of the library is a very large family room with a ton of storage space that runs the entire length of the room. Off the family room is another very large bedroom with a large window overlooking the lake. This room is currently being used for a study, but it would make a great bedroom with two large closet/storage spaces. The basement is unfinished, but nice and dry. There is a large room that was once used for a model trains exhibit. It also features a safe-room with two heavy steel doors. Outside next to the home is a two-car garage, a large workshop with a large profile door and an upstairs loft; ideal for a woodworker or another type of craft working area. With some vision, it could potentially be converted into a rental space. Along the side of the home are stairs leading to the gorgeous beach area. The beach is a mix of sand and pebble and has a great view of McLain State Park's lighthouse. Lake Superior living provides you with the most exquisite Keweenaw sunsets, beach bonfires, dancing Northern Lights and so much more!
