About this home
Public Remarks: This elegant Craftsman-style custom home was designed for a beautiful wooded setting on Lake Superior, overlooking the Apostle Islands, between Bayfield and Washburn. With almost 300 feet of Brownstone shoreline & a pristine sand beach cove, this home can be an exquisite primary residence or a fantastic vacation home. The L-shaped design makes the most of the lake views, with an inviting courtyard on the arrival side and a more panoramic view on the lake side. It has the look & feel of a seaside cottage with a Scandinavian-style whitewashed woodwork throughout the interior, 9-ft. high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. Unique features such as Taconite stone tile and masonry fireplace hearth compliment the Lake Superior stone surround. You ll find plenty of space for hobbies, with a heated workshop, recreation room, sunlit studio or workout space and a kitchen that makes cooking a delight. There s an extra oversize garage perfect for storing your summer and winter recreational equipment and an authentic Scandinavian log sauna complete with a sod roof. Fruit orchard, gardens, sugar maples, cedar, birch and pine trees and that beautiful blue Lake Superior you ll never run out of ways to immerse yourself in nature. It s just a short run into Washburn or Bayfield, where you can launch your boat or lease a slip in a marina, enjoy fine dining, a thriving arts community and participate in organizations dedicated to preserving the history and culture of this unique region.
