Charming 1.5-story single family home on a corner lot in the heart of Port Wing, just minutes from Lake Superior's south shore. Three bedrooms, one full main-floor bath, and roughly 1,200 finished square feet of warm, character-filled living space featuring exposed log walls, built-in bookshelves, and a cozy pellet stove. The kitchen flows through a graceful arched opening into a sun-filled dining and plant room, and the upper level offers a generous walk-up space ready to finish as a primary suite, studio, or bunk room. Major systems have been modernized: brand-new high-efficiency Trane propane boiler and LP tank installed in 2025, plus a 200-amp electrical service. City water and sewer, Norvado fiber internet available, and a detached one-car garage with workshop space and additional storage shed round out the lot. Walk to the marina, the Lake Superior Scenic Byway, and downtown Port Wing with Bayfield and the Apostle Islands a half-hour east. A rare opportunity to own in the heart of Wisconsin's south shore town of Port Wing.
