Excellent opportunity to complete this one-of-a-kind home on beautiful Madeline Island. Properties in this area rarely come on the market. Situated on 2 acres with a private sandy shoreline, this island gem offers sweeping views of Lake Superior—watch the ferry arrive from Bayfield and sailboats glide across the water. The upper third level is tastefully finished and ideal as a guest suite or private owner’s retreat. The spacious main floor offers nearly 1,600 sq. ft. with a kitchen open to the dining and living areas, plus a bedroom, den/office, and an impressive four-season porch lined with windows and double doors leading to the expansive yard and lake views. The second floor features three bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with its own large four-season porch. Bring your vision and complete the construction with the finishes and design choices you desire. Conveniently located within walking distance to town, just 1.5 miles from the airport, and less than a half mile from the Madeline Island Golf Club and Yacht Club. A rare chance to create your dream Lake Superior retreat.
