Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street in Ely, MN, this charming 1BR, 1BA bungalow style home proves that great things come in small packages. Just steps from the scenic Trezona Trail and Miners Lake, and within walking distance to downtown, the location is unbeatable for outdoor lovers and town explorers alike. Inside, you'll find a perfect blend of old and new—like the spacious bathroom with its original clawfoot tub (now with a shower), dresser-style vanity, and penny tile flooring. The cozy living room, galley-style kitchen, and large bedroom with walk-in closet offer comfortable living, while the walk-out basement adds bonus space with a rec room, Jotul gas fireplace, laundry, and potential for a home office. The 1-car garage includes a workshop/shed space, and the easy-to-maintain yard lets you spend more time enjoying life and less time mowing. With newer windows, LP siding, appliances—and sold furnished—this turnkey home is ready for you to move in and enjoy all that Ely (one of MN's coolest small towns) has to offer. Just unpack and start living the Northwoods dream!
