Charming 3 BR, 2 BA ranch-style home with a walk-out basement, sitting on nearly ½ acre just outside Ely. It’s the best of both worlds—peaceful privacy with wooded views, yet less than a mile from the heart of “The Coolest Small Town” and gateway to the Boundary Waters! Step inside the spacious living room with hardwood floors, fireplace, and backyard views, plus a dining room that opens onto a massive deck—perfect for morning coffee or summer evenings with friends. The main floor also features a large kitchen and three comfortable bedrooms. The walk-out level is packed with charm and flexibility: a large office (convertible to a bedroom with an egress window), rec room with bar finished in knotty pine, sauna, ¾ bath, and sliding door to a covered patio. An attached heated 24x22 garage keeps life convenient year-round, and the wooded backyard adds the perfect Up North vibe. This is a home with comfort, character, and location all wrapped in one. Don’t miss your chance.
