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 conveniently located near 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.
