83185 Washington Ave, Port Wing, WI - 1.5-story white-sided single family home with steep front gable, brick chimney, upper gable window, mature trees, and a concrete walkway to the side entry on a corner lot. SOLD.

What Made This Property Special

Brand-New High-Efficiency Heating System

Major mechanical investment already completed: a new high-efficiency Trane propane boiler and rented LP tank were installed in 2025, replacing the prior electric boiler. In Bayfield County winters, this was a meaningful operating cost improvement — modern condensing-boiler technology paired with a supplemental pellet stove in the living room. The heavy lifting on heating was done.

Walk-Up Upper Level with Expansion Potential

Above the main floor sat a generous walk-up space with original wide-plank pine floors, tongue-and-groove pine walls and ceiling, and natural light from the gable window. Roughly 207 square feet of finishable area — ready to become a primary suite, home office, studio, or bunk room as needs grow.

Heart of Port Wing Location

Corner-lot position in the heart of the town of Port Wing, just minutes from Lake Superior's south shore. The marina, the Lake Superior Scenic Byway, and downtown Port Wing all just minutes away. Bayfield and the Apostle Islands sit roughly thirty minutes east. A rare opportunity to own in the heart of Wisconsin's south shore town of Port Wing.

Property Highlights

Character-Rich Living Spaces

Roughly 1,200 finished square feet of warm, light-filled living space. The living room featured exposed log walls, custom built-in bookshelves, a large picture window, and a Cleveland pellet stove on a tiled hearth. Front entry with a leaded-glass arched window opened directly into the main living area. Three bedrooms total — including two on the main floor with original wide-plank pine floors.

Kitchen & Sun-Filled Dining Room

The kitchen flowed through a graceful arched opening into a bright dining and plant room with a wall of south-facing windows. Butcher-block counters, electric range, double-basin sink, and ample open and closed cabinetry. The dining room doubled as a sunny breakfast space and indoor garden — a quiet, plant-filled corner of the home.

Detached Garage & Outbuilding

Detached one-car garage with gravel driveway, opener installed, multiple windows, exposed pine rafters, and full electrical service — usable as a workshop or four-season storage for vehicles, tools, or recreational gear. A second outbuilding on the property added additional storage for yard equipment, firewood, or seasonal gear. Real garage capacity on a village lot is rare in this market.
