DIRECTIONS: FOR FULL EFFECT, PUT A BILLIE HOLIDAY RECORD ON THE TURNTABLE PRIOR TO VIEWING THIS LISTING. Classic, vintage, nostalgic beauty on the shores of the Moen Chain of Lakes. Built in the 40's by a German artisan woodworker and his bride, this is a rare snapshot of kinder gentler days in Northern WI. Massive mature trees frame the cabin which feels far more private than the lot size would have you believe. A few easy steps lead you to a beautiful sand shoreline. Cozy stone fireplace w/ insert and handmade built-ins charmingly enhance already abundant storage. Full unfinished basement, garage, and a darling bunkhouse for the youngsters to giggle the night away. Includes an aluminum roll-in dock and the property comes fully furnished (with many treasures). The hand carved wooden moth light switches were inspired by a species native to the property, and different painted scenes adorn every door, front and back. A positively one of a kind memory-maker tucked in the woods. ..
MOEN CHAIN COTTAGE - Go back in time - when life on the lake was not only simple, but elegant. Crafted by a master old-world woodworker in the early 1940's, this outstanding property offers all the necessary amenities and historical charm. Tongue and groove knotty pine in pristine condition on the walls, a stone fireplace and beamed ceilings and hardwood parquet floors - all will warm your soul! This year round home has been meticulously maintained. The kitchen and bath have seen updates that blend with the art-deco style of the home. Glass cabinets and built-in sitting in the kitchen/dining area are still the original. A four season sun porch gives wonderful lake views and the main floor laundry is another plus. Other recent updates include a metal roof, full basement, furnace, water heater, septic, drilled well, and a patio, landscaping and more. Catch every species of fish right from the dock! Just minutes from Rhinelander - with hunting/snowmobiling just up the road!
