    What's special

    Farmhouse-style kitchenWalk-in closetThoughtfully updated homeGas stove
    Charmingly Updated Home Steps from Downtown Washburn Welcome to 221 N 1st Ave — a thoughtfully updated home where character meets modern comfort, all within an easy walk to Coco's Bakery, Brownstone Pharmacy, the grocery store, the bookstore, and everything downtown Washburn has to offer. The heart of this home is a farmhouse-style kitchen featuring a breakfast bar with designer pendant lighting, a convenient passthrough with extra cabinetry, and ceramic tile flooring that carries through the hallways and bathrooms. A gas stove and dishwasher round out a kitchen built for both everyday meals and entertaining. A newer addition brings the standout feature: an owner's suite with a bow-front window offering a Lake Superior view, a walk-in closet, and an en suite bathroom with a full tiled shower. Upgraded windows throughout the addition add efficiency and comfort. Main-level laundry in the entry hall keeps daily routines convenient. The living room pairs hardwood floors with a bold accent wall and a stairway leading to a charming upper-level bedroom — a cozy retreat tucked beneath the roofline. A second bedroom on the main floor enjoys natural light from two sides. Two separate entryways help keep the interior warm through Washburn winters. Outside, a rear deck overlooks a producing apple tree and large shade trees that frame the yard beautifully. A two-car garage opens onto 1st Ave just east of the home, and a large, dry 20x20 basement provides excellent storage.
