Tasteful Architectural Home on the shores of Lake Superior. 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. 16 acres and 720’ of rugged beauty provide an immersive Boreal Woods experience. This is eagle habitat, a family nesting in the backcountry of the property! The land is a mix of sun-swept uplands, sprawling ledge rock, moody interior woodlands. There is an island at the mouth of a cove - the play of water exploding on it in storms, lapping in the summer blue. The home is oriented toward that basalt sculpture for commanding views. Inside is a mix of sophisticated fixtures and custom-tailored surfaces. The kitchen is equipped with the best appliances, evocative water fixtures, lighting to inspire, and Cambria. Stepping down from the kitchen into the dining room one finds a light-filled space under an artistic, thick slab geometric glass light - a wonder in a home of wonders. Built-in, tasteful cabinets define the next step into the great room. Here all is sylvan-light, giant sliders opening to Gitchee Gummi. The chandelier is simultaneously spare and magnificent – bringing to the room a modern take on the great halls of yesteryear. Reclaimed Douglas Fir timbers enrich. The showstopper, a soaring limestone fireplace! Underfoot is matte-finished white oak flooring. Unlacquered brass hardware throughout the home is elegantly highlighted against smart black surfaces. The primary bedroom with ensuite bath and large walk-in is a dream of luxury: steam shower, Northwoods views, sliders opening to lupines and birch. Upstairs are three bedrooms for the crew and/or make one an office. Each a delight of design - dormers create nooks providing for an afternoon read and views of the adult eagles making their rounds. The living room overlooks the great room, island of rock and pathways to the firepit and a mind-blowing expanse of geology – will take many years to get to know that hunk of living, ancient rock. The functionality of the home matches the design: in-floor heat, central AC, air exchanger, Sonos music system. Insulated garage with unfinished living space above awaiting vision. This quality and size of land simply can no longer be found. This level of craftsmanship and finish materials takes forever to find the right person to build, not to mention the recent stratospheric increases in costs. This is available now: ready for gathering, dreaming, relaxing in the pure, cool of the North Shore. Architect's description https://christopherstrom.com/north-shore-retreat
