Unique opportunity in the heart of Grand Marais - this home can be used as a roomy single family home, shared living situation or as a duplex! The main floor features an inviting space with the kitchen as the focal point. Cook a meal together and spend time around the nearby dining room or walk up a few stairs to the living room where there's plenty of room to relax. Just down the hallway is a bedroom suite with a walk-in closet and spacious bathroom. Take the stairs down to the walkout level and find a secondary living area that can be shared all together or set it aside as a private suite for a housemate. Another option is to rent out the walkout level as a private unit. The lower level has an office which could easily be a third bedroom with the installation of an egress window. The window well is already installed! The lower level has a separate entrance and the door to the main floor can sealed. Enjoy the half acre of grass, trees and flowers with a small creek meandering through. The 2-stall insulated garage is so close to the house, it's almost attached. Plus, there are three off street parking spots. This is an ideal in town home with a big yard, convenient location all within walking distance of schools, restaurants, shops and best of all, Lake Superior! Come take a look, the seller is open to considering reasonable offers.
