1627 W 5th St, Grand Marais, MN 55604

Out in the country and close enough to town for convenience - that’s the opportunity on offer here. Two bedrooms, one bath, lovingly maintained, surrounded by peaceful woods and Grand Marais just about a mile away. Home sits back off the road for added privacy and wildlife sightings. Oversized detached garage is plenty roomy and currently has a heated workout room. Additionally, another garage with studio or office space awaits a new owner’s vision and dreams. Lofty aspen, birch and conifers surround the home and yard. Inviting expanse of lawn, tastefully fenced in to keep the nibbling deer at bay and creates a nice area for the pets to roam and stay healthy. A series of raised beds dutifully put out the veggies and flowers. A cute little greenhouse starts the season right and nearby is a handy garden shed. Owners have paths that meander the boreal woods: slow down and pay attention, these northern woods are complex and always a surprise. Large deck sprawls out for gathering, chillaxing and basking in the southern exposure. Owners have recently painted inside and out, installed new flooring in most of the home, new light fixtures, installed ring cameras, and more… Nothing on the to-do list here, just show up and start living a Northwoods life. The home lays out smartly with easy flow floorplan. Primary bedroom is peaceful with sylvan light flowing in through tasteful clerestory windows. Additional bedroom is plenty roomy and awaits the next owner’s plans: family member, office, den, movie night! Living room and kitchen flow into each other gracefully. Kitchen has tasteful backsplash above the countertops, new stainless-steel sink, and plenty of cabinets. Adjacent pantry is ideal – pack it up with the summer harvest! Between the kitchen and living room are large, full-glass doors providing access to the deck, cool air and a place to stand with a cuppa and contemplate the ways of nature. Below is ample storage and utilities in an easily accessible crawlspace, though more accurate to say slightly-hunched-over space - bring all your stuff, there’s plenty of room! Your toys will fit in the garages, including handy boat racks for kayaks and canoes. Make a change. Bring your job, or retire here, get a new gig, make it a getaway. This property checks a lot of boxes, including price! They are not making more Cook County real estate, come get this one while it lasts.
