This elegant Clarence Kemp/Dale Mulfinger home is located an easy eighteen miles northeast of Grand Marais in the creative enclave of Hovland, a bohemian village that is a haven for artists, writers, and musicians. Here you can hike, forage, fish, snowshoe, ski or simply enjoy the tranquility of an oasis away from the crowds. The property boasts quality maple woodwork throughout – from the flooring on the main level to the timeless lines of the cabinetry and stairways, you’ll be drawn to the light filled spaces. All new stainless-steel appliances were added in 2023. The granite counters and smart appliances in this well-appointed kitchen with breakfast bar seating, invite the culinary enthusiast. The large primary ensuite on the upper level boasts an abundance of closet space, and an alternate main level bedroom with a vaulted ceiling enjoys the warmth emanating from the two-sided Finnish fireplace in the great room. The lower level includes a stunning custom-built library, and a guest bedroom with a half bath. This exquisite Lake Superior home has an attached two car heated garage with workbench, and a three-season porch that serves as a mudroom and a summer greenhouse. Large windows floor to ceiling lakeside invite the outdoors in. Walk out the lower level to the basalt ledge rock shoreline for gatherings around your own bonfire or take in the stars while soaking in the hot tub. The Chimney Rock development is a highly sought-after neighborhood that includes community septic, buried electric, and broadband Wi-Fi. The home is heated with wood and hot water heat from dual sources (propane and electric boilers). The homeowner’s association ensures the maintenance of the community roads and septic systems, allowing you to focus on the serene and artistic atmosphere of your surroundings.
