Overlooking the 240’ of shoreline on Little Bowstring, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home embraces the Up North lifestyle w/ an iconic barn, part of the 2.94 acre Historic Finnish Homestead. Dating back to the early 1900s, it’s recently been encased w/ metal to assure its integrity. South-facing lakeviews can be captured from the open-concept kitchen/dining/living area. Vaulted ceilings enhance natural light that cascades through two patio doors that allow access to the deck. Entertaining is effortless with ample cupboard space, center island, & new appliances. Also on the main level are two bedrooms, both with walk-in closets, & a 0.75 bath. The walkout lower level has quarter-log paneling throughout the family room w/ fireplace, add’l bedroom, & bath. In true Finnish tradition, a sauna w/ changing area completes the layout. The expansive barn allows for vehicles, boats, and/or off-road equipment, w/ workshop attached. Lakelife calls you to cast a line, cherishing this legacy of a property.
