Live on the beautiful north shore of Lake Superior. This charming home has panoramic views of the lake, including Knife Island and historic fishermen’s shacks set among spruce and pine trees. Eastern and southern exposures afford lots of sunlight year-round. Watch ships passing and enjoy one of nature’s greatest shows: the moods of the world’s largest lake. The spectacular view is complemented by the warmth of the spacious living room’s wood burning brick fireplace and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
Less than five minutes away you can watch surfers at scenic Stoney Point, thrill to steelhead trout leaping waterfalls in the Knife River on their way to spawning beds, walk the Lake Superior hiking trail, and gather agates at Knife River Marina beach. Not to mention savoring homemade delicacies including smoked fish from Russ Kendall’s and delicious treats from Great! Lakes Candy shop. Duluth is an easy 15 minutes’ commute; Two Harbors is 10 minutes.
Owners have loved living in this home for over 40 years, and are leaving only to be nearer to their children and grandchildren.
