What Made This Property Different
1.57 Wooded Acres Inside the City of Washburn
This was the combination that almost never comes up: real privacy under heavy tree cover, and city convenience just minutes from downtown Washburn and Lake Superior. The lot is irregular and heavily wooded, giving the home a screened, tucked-back feel while sitting on an in-town parcel with an asphalt driveway, off-street parking, and room for the RV.
Vaulted Ceilings and a Center-Island Kitchen That Opens Up
The kitchen (12' x 17') runs right into the dining and living rooms with no walls in between, anchored by a center island with seating and finished with vaulted ceilings, a full stainless appliance package, and generous counter space. Patio doors off the dining area lead straight out to the deck, so the gathering space extends outdoors in the summer months.
Vaulted ceilings, center island, and patio doors to the deck.
Detached 3-Car Garage with RV Parking and a Bonus Room
The detached three-car garage was set up for someone who actually uses it: RV parking, a garage door opener, and its own bonus room finished as a workshop or man cave with a natural gas heater, wood stove, and built-in cabinets. Year-round project space, separate from the house.
