Stately home in Washburn
This stately 3000 sq ft home is perfect for a large group or family. Located on a tree lined avenue, steps from Washburn's Main Street and Lake Superior.

Built in 1912 by a prominent lumber baron, the home has been well cared for and updated with a newly remodeled kitchen. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. House is situated on a double lot with a two stall garage. Fenced in backyard has a deck, grill, fire pit and volleyball net. Your well behaved dog is welcome for a $60 fee. Neighborhood playground, tennis and pickleball courts just blocks away. In summer, visit the Farmer's Market and enjoy Music In The Park on Wednesdays. The house is elegant enough for a romantic weekend, yet still comfortable and inviting for families and outdoor sports enthusiasts. Washburn was recently named one of the best places for biking in the country! Bring your bike, or rent one at Washburn Hardware and Sports.

Why they chose this property
This home will captivate you when you walk in the front door. You are greeted by a grand stairway with traditional formal dining room to the left and a spacious living room to the right. The living area is perfect for sitting by the fire, building a jig saw puzzle or watching your favorite football team win on a Sunday afternoon.
Kitchen was remodeled in 2022.
Upstairs you will find an elegant owners' suite with a queen sized bed. Bedroom 2 with a queen and bedroom 3 has a twin. Additional bedroom with a queen bed on the mezzanine level off of the kitchen area.
There is a full bath with laundry up, and a half bath with shower down, and a powder room off the kitchen.
There is a very large back entry which can be used for recreational gear, drinks overlooking the backyard, or morning yoga.

What makes this property unique
This property is the best of both worlds. Close enough to the water, and snowmobile trails, but with a quiet, neighborhood feel. Located just a couple blocks from Bayfield Street, there is a newly updated, family friendly playground and tennis courts. There is a Cultural Center and bookstore steps away. Washburn has some of the best fine art galleries in the area, the the Great Lakes Visitors Center is 6 miles away, and the Town of Bayfield just a 12 minute drive.
