About this home
Charming Lake Superior Home and Guest Cottage - Croftville Road. "Classic North Shore" is how people describe the Croftville Road, and this quaint log-sided home and cute guest cabin are one of the reasons why. Tucked among the tall spruce trees and perched at the dramatic edge of Lake Superior's rugged shore; this home and guest cottage have been home to just two owners over its 75 years. The 2-bedroom, 1 bath home features warm patina on the paneled walls and ceiling, maple hardwood floors, a charming cobblestone fireplace and huge windows overlooking the lake, making you feel as if you're on a ship. Special attributes include the cozy 4-season porch, and walk-out boat house that opens to the shore within mere feet of the lapping waves (a cool spot to sit and feel the serenity of the place). Across the quiet road is an equally charming 1-bedroom, 1 bath guest cottage. Such a cozy retreat with full kitchen, propane fireplace/stove and a very lovely feel of privacy. There's a two car garage, a large yard and plenty of privacy here. Quality furnishings are included so you're ready to move in. Located just minutes from Grand Marais, this is where you can travel back to a simpler time and feel that Old North Shore vibe.
