Charming is the perfect word to describe this lovely cottage in Tofte on the North Shore. Seasonal views of Lake Superior. This 1955 built home was completely remodeled in 2008. The 2 bedrooms, the office/den, the bathroom, the natural light, the fireplace...absolutely everything just feels warm and cozy. The one car garage with a studio/workshop offers space to create/work/relax, too. It's just perfect! Once you immerse yourself in the woods behind the home/garage you'll feel like you're in your own little world. Complete with the creek, a bridge, the fire pit, in a natural setting/forest. The perennials are beautiful as is the front deck, the cedar shake siding and a wonderful metal roof on the home. Some Lake Superior view, which is limited in the summer. Having the state bike trail right across the road is a convenient and fun bonus. One major additional bonus is that the adjacent lot to the east is included in the sale! New water system, on demand water heater, stove and microwave. Owner has made $25,000 in improvements in the last two years.
