Modern architecture on Poplar Lake, just off the Gunflint Trail. This unique lake home designed by renowned Duluth architect David Salmela sits on a beautiful, large wooded lot on Poplar Lake. This is the largest lake parcel in this plat, with a prominent south facing point. Serene privacy and unspoiled views look directly to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Exterior walls are clad in Richlite composite with natural and charred cedar. With 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, the thoughtful layout affords plenty of space for a large group, with cozy and private spaces inside and out. The home features many of Salmela's signature design elements: oversized, square triple-pane H Windows, white cabinetry, slatted basswood ceiling, and stairwell with vertical timber battens. Wonderful natural light floods the entire home with incredible four-season views of the dense boreal forest just outside. The welcoming and spacious entry has generous storage for coats and gear. Slate tile floors throughout with dual-fuel radiant heat provide warmth and coziness. The open great room has huge windows on all sides with stunning outside views and natural light. Perfect for lounging, dining, and entertaining, this room feels spacious yet intimate, with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in birch plywood shelving. Custom kitchen cabinets with Mesabi black granite counter tops, stainless appliances and an expansive center island. An elevated screened porch is located just off the kitchen. A cozy TV room with more built-in storage and a half-bath round out the first floor. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, a full bath, convenient laundry center, plus a second elevated screened porch. The primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom has a walk-in closet with abundant storage. The office/den on the opposite end of the second floor has an amazing tree-top view that looks to the lake. Ready-to-finish lower level with large rec-room space and additional storage. Two-car detached garage has plenty of room for equipment, toys and shop space. Bonfire seating area just off the lake. Includes aluminum dock with bench and ladder. Original designs for the home are featured in the 2011 publication "The Invisible Element of Place: The Architecture of David Salmela".
