101 Brandon Ln, Grand Marais, MN 55604

Home Sweet Home on Brandon Ln. End of the road, abutting lots of wild, public land! About 10 minutes from Grand Marais and feels like good country living! 1 bedroom, 1 bath, a lovely, lofted space that with slight modification could be a second bedroom. This is an artist’s property and is imbued with that sensibility: attention to detail, everything just so, nothing too much, the essence of what a dwelling should be. Comfortable, well-scaled spaces with warmth, light, color. There is a spirit upon arrival of welcome and ease. The entryway, dining area and kitchen are one happy family: each knows their role and plays the part. The living room is good friends with the woodstove and opens into the screen porch – an excellent place for naps, studying warblers, listening to the way of wind in treetops. The bedroom is tucked back, quiet and dreamy. The bathroom is sudsy, spare, just right. The loft is wood, white walls, angled lines – a stimulating, sequestered space. Downstairs is a functional area of utilities, laundry, storage and it walks out to the woods. Outside is crafted with local stonework, flowers, shrubs and whimsical sculpture all of which awaits the care of you dear reader. A giant bear playing saxophone? Yes! And more. The grounds host other structures. Darling sauna with screened cooling area: listen between reps for a Swainson’s Thrush, a call that will carry your steamy mind and body into the boreal ether. A heated studio/workspace has been the locus of countless works of creativity. Plenty of room in that building to double as an overflow area for friends and family. Two dry sheds are dutiful awaiting the tools and accoutrements unique to your Northwoods vision. The forest here is healthy, pure and open to accommodate some special views. There is a tamarack near the home with all its specific green and soft needles. Care has been taken to sustain the property, including a 2019 roof. Heat is both propane and electric, sign up for dual fuel to save! Some furnishings could be included. Superior Hiking Tr is just around the corner. Feeling adventurous, walk through the woods about a mile east to a patterned fen, a place of amazing biodiversity and beauty. Not much more to report, except when do you move in?!
