Terrific Lake Superior Lutsen Home! 5+ acres of beautiful Northwoods with 220+ feet of accessible ledge-rock and a beach! The home is on Cty Rd 35, a quiet country road paralleling Hwy 61, providing buffer and a great place to stroll. 4 bedrooms, 3 baths - plenty of room for the whole crew. Memories have been made here as this was an early Lutsen home – the old timers had the choice of the best parcels, and this one is no exception! One family has owned this property since the 1940s and they have loved it up in all ways: raised family, kept up the maintenance, tasteful remodeling, thoughtful upgrades, added an amazing garage! More recently, they have shared the home with others doing short term rental – creating a loyal following of lucky souls enjoying the Lutsen Gitche Gummi vibes. The entire upstairs is perfect for a separate rental or just a good place for your personal guests: separate kitchen, two bedrooms, two baths. Downstairs has the warmth and wood detailing expected in the classics along the shore. There is a charming, spacious kitchen with good ol’ cabinets the way they used to be done – hand crafted! Two more bedrooms on the first level and the third bathroom. The living room is light-filled, overlooking the gardens and the Big Lake as does the cute dining room. Above are also a family room area and dining. All of these areas walk out to the lower and upper spacious decks providing commanding views of the grounds, waves, “avian rivers” of spring warblers and fall raptors! A grassy yard meanders around mature trees. Great firepit. The oversized garage joins the cute original single garage. There is a shed, plus a timber frame carport/storage. There is a settled feeling here, human and natural landscape happily adjusted. A sweet path journeys to the shore. Time slips relaxing on the beach and sunny ledge-rock. Come into the natural rhythms prevailing since the glaciers receded. Not much to do here. Windows upstairs are new in 2025, home recently restained, new well pump and pressure tank, Gutter Helmet with transferable warranty. Off-peak heating is nice on the pocketbook. A class-act cobblestone fireplace is the central attraction of the interior. Gas insert modernizes the fireplace with ease, safety and warmth. Lutsen Mts, Superior National Golf and The Winery are two minutes away. Grand Marais 20 minutes north. Hiking, biking, XC and snowmobile Trails nearby.
