Among the hilly country overlooking Gitche Gumee, and not far from the wonders and explorations of Tettegouche State Park, is this classy Lake Superior home with 245 ft of Shoreline on Lake Superior! Birch Cliff Rd is about 10 minutes north of Silver Bay. This is a Post and Beam Lindal Cedar Home with all the bells and whistles. The living room’s wall of glass displays each big-lake moment just so – impossible to take for granted the view-scape that is now your “everyday.” The woodstove in the living room is a good companion with which to study the gales of November. Gazing out over the lake, one hand feeling the wood’s warmth, the other surveying with binoculars – there is a spirit to catch here, look deeply, let it seep in. The Steamship America used to roll past with goods, hopes and dreams - folks looking for a change, just like you. Now, look up! It’s spring and jewels of warblers are following the coast. In Fall, just try to count the migrating raptors - your abacus needs to run into the thousands! The kitchen is class-act, awaiting the bounty of the country: blueberry cakes with your buddy’s maple syrup, or the day’s catch of lake trout on a bed of wild ramps and chanterelles. Off the kitchen is a sunroom, a good place for deep thought or a deep snooze! Plenty of room here: three bedrooms, three baths: tiled and jetted tub. A loft to sneak away to for a good book or everyone cuddled up for movie-night. The primary bedroom is dreamy under lofted ceiling, ensuite bath and privacy guaranteed. Down below is a spacious family room with impressive views of the lake. A kitchenette down here awaits your particular use: bar, a place for an aging relative, or housing the plentitude of snacks and drinks it takes to feed ‘em all! Warm wood accents and paneling throughout, but not too much: need some drywall for color and design. There’s a gem of a stairway that filters light into pleasant geometries, soothes the mind with order and function. Lot of elbow room in this pad - each can be doing their thing. Big ‘ol garage with stairs up to a room that is great for storage or finish off for more living space. Whoa, there’s a sprawling deck: BBQ, hammock, chillaxin’! The locale is a strategic basecamp for North Shore Fun: Lutsen and Grand Marais ain’t far, Splitrock just down the road. Or, bring enough groceries for a month! Hole up among the cool air, pristine forest, and neighboring 3 quadrillion gallons of freshwater, better known as: Lake Superior!
