One-owner, custom-built, home featuring 200’ of Lake Superior water frontage! This immaculate home sits high on the bluff with picturesque views of the bay from practically every room -- along with beautiful sunrises and sunsets! From the wooded side lot, a heavy-duty staircase leads you to a sandy beachfront. (Lot also includes a babbling brook and impressive ridge which provides a natural privacy barrier from the home next door.) It is only a 10 minute walk to the hospital, doctor's offices and Munising Falls, and 4th of July fireworks can be viewed from the cantilevered deck! The front entry is accessible via a covered porch. It is sizeable, open, airy, and inviting with natural day lighting, cedar-lined coat and broom closets, and slate flooring. The oak kitchen cabinetry includes stained glass inserts along with lower roll-out drawers, tile backsplash incorporates hand-painted U.P. wildflowers (by local artist), a maple butcher block island with 6-burner gas range and prep sink, a coffee bar with overhead plate rack and mini fridge, a bread-making station, a stainless double convection oven, small desk area, and expansive 18’ bay window wall. The sitting room/den and formal living rooms share a two-way (see-through) gas fireplace, with oak built-ins flanking a stone surround on the family room side --and-- hardwood floors and wooden fireplace surround/mantle on the living room side. The formal dining room features a walk-in organizer closet designed for linens, flatware, and seasonal table décor. Well-designed, the home has a natural flow, with fun and functional indoor/outdoor options. Guests can be directed from the living room through patio doors to an expansive rear deck and breathtaking overlook platform. In the upper level, you will find two spacious, dormered, bedrooms and full bath. All closets within the home are cedar-lined. The upstairs office/library features tongue and groove vaulted ceiling, with a full-wall of built-in library shelving, and custom half-circle window design overlooking the street. Basement walls are poured concrete. The walk-out provides natural daylight for well-lit work and/or recreation areas without compromising privacy. Beyond, you will find yet another full bath, and additional workroom/storage spaces. (The workroom directly under the kitchen has been insulated/soundproofed. -- ideal for the musician or gamer in the family). Direct entry from the garage into the laundry/utility room provides a convenient place to drop your gear (or groceries due to its proximity to the kitchen). Exterior is wood with stone work on foundation. Roof is only a couple of years old, furnace is natural gas forced air. There are public utilities, and Anderson double-pane casement windows with cranks. There are numerous Birch trees on the property, natural grasses and wildflowers. You will also find a convenient herb garden just outside kitchen. There are several outdoor patios to enjoy. Garden shed is approx. 10x8.
