Dreaming of the quintessential Northwoods home? This custom-built, log-sided 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence is full of rustic charm and character, nestled on 8.27 private acres with Cutface Creek running along the eastern edge of the property. Designed for both comfort and entertainment, the main level features a spacious kitchen, dining room, and living room—all oriented to capture warm southern views. Vaulted ceilings, natural woodwork, and a cozy wood-burning stove create a welcoming, lodge-like atmosphere. A handcrafted open staircase leads to a generous loft area that includes the primary bedroom, a private bath, and a peaceful sitting area perfect for reading or relaxing. On the main floor, you'll also find a large guest bedroom, a full bathroom, a laundry room, and a roomy entry porch with custom-made doors and ample space for boots and outdoor gear. Enjoy your morning coffee while birdwatching on the delightful 3-season porch located just off the kitchen or unwinding on the south-facing deck overlooking the peaceful surroundings. The lower walkout offers even more living space with a family room, third bedroom featuring a walk-in closet, a hobby room, utility room, and abundant storage. The insulated garage includes plenty of workshop space, and the property also features a woodshed, storage building, RV dump station, and ample parking. Located just 7 miles from Grand Marais via well-maintained County Roads 7 and 44, this home puts you minutes from hiking, skiing, fishing, and all the outdoor adventures the North Shore has to offer.
