3BR/2BA home, well cared for and ready to move in — fresh carpet throughout, nothing to do but unpack. Sits on 1.29 acres with a rare 3-car garage, plus the adjacent lot is separately deeded and large enough to put a building on — a unique opportunity to expand or add a second structure. Unbeatable location: Trezona and Mesabi Trails, plus the Prospector ATV trail and Taconite snowmobile trail, all right across the street — year-round biking, skiing, ATV riding, snowmobiling, and hiking straight from your driveway. Walk to Semer's Beach and Shagawa Lake for swimming and paddling, or grab coffee at one of the nearby local shops. A hotel with pool sits nearby for visiting family. A rare combination of turn-key comfort, acreage, and true walkability to Ely's best outdoor access points.
