Charming two bedroom, one bath Lake Superior cabin, located on the coveted Cascade Beach Road, in the heart of Lutsen. This cabin was originally built in 1964, long before setbacks, so it has an unbeatable and unrepeatable location at the water’s edge, creating never-ending, phenomenal views all the way from Lutsen to Grand Marais. The property is pie shaped with 3+ acres, creating a very private setting, complete with a mature spruce forest. There is over 275’ of shoreline, featuring a mixture of rock and gravel, perfect for the kayak and swimming. The deck is lined with built-in seating and there is a nice fire-pit to roast marshmallows as you watch the moon come up over the lake. The interior is ash and pine paneled with a beautiful stone gas fireplace. The dining area is open to the kitchen and living room with patio doors to the deck. The roomy kitchen has an adjacent walk-in pantry/storage room. The cabin has been a vacation rental for many years and is being sold turnkey. Property is being taxed Commercially for 2021 and will go back to Residential Non-Homestead in 2022, which will make the taxes drop significantly. It is such a cozy retreat, but it is really all about the view and the sound of the waves kissing the shoreline! Come & check it out before it is too late!
