Washburn Ranch Home with a Fenced Yard and Finished Lower Level

Room to Roam in the Heart of Washburn

This well-kept 1985 ranch sits on a level, fully fenced 0.36-acre lot close to the Washburn Marina, the ball fields and all the city amenities. Everything you need day to day is on one level, and the finished lower level nearly doubles your living space when you want it.

Single-story living on a big city lot is a combination that does not come up often in Washburn. The house has been well cared for, and the lot gives you room the newer subdivisions cannot match. Sellers prefer a mid-December closing date.

A Galley Kitchen Set Up to Cook In

White cabinetry, generous counter run, and stainless appliances including a gas range. The layout keeps the range, sink and refrigerator in easy reach of each other, with a pass-through to the back hall and a window over the sink. Dishwasher, refrigerator, range and vent hood all stay with the home.

A Fenced Backyard That Actually Gets Used

Full privacy fencing surrounds a level lawn with mature crabapple trees, a brick firepit for fall evenings, and an electrified storage shed. A vehicle-width double gate opens onto the alley, so the boat, trailer or camper can come right into the yard instead of living on the street.

For anyone with dogs, kids or a project that needs somewhere to park, a fully fenced lot with its own gate is the kind of thing that is expensive and slow to add later.

The Finished Lower Level Doubles Your Space

About 825 finished square feet below grade, including a large L-shaped family room, a full bath with a whirlpool tub and adjoining laundry, a 12 x 12 bedroom or bonus room, and a separate mechanical and storage room. Recessed lighting, laminate flooring, and finished walls throughout the family room.

Please note that the lower-level bedroom windows do not meet current egress size requirements per the inspection report. The room works well as an office, guest space or hobby room, and the inspection report is available on request.

The Big-Ticket Items Are Already Done

Roof shingled in 2024. Deck rebuilt in 2022. Water heater replaced in 2025. Newer range and microwave. Natural gas forced-air heat with central air conditioning, a sump pump and drainage system in the basement, and fiber optic internet already at the house.

These are the expensive systems. Having them recently handled is the difference between a house you move into and a house you start spending on. The home has also been pre-inspected, and the inspection report is available upon request, so you can see what a professional found before you write an offer.

Walk to the Marina, the Ball Fields and Downtown

Washburn packs a marina, a public beach, ball fields, a coffee roaster, restaurants and a K-12 school district into a town you can cross in a few minutes. This lot sits close to all of it, with paved city streets, sidewalks, curb and gutter, and easy access to State Highway 13.

Bayfield and the Madeline Island ferry are about twenty minutes up the shore. Ashland is about fifteen minutes the other direction. Explore more Bayfield County real estate.
