About This Home

As of October 2015

Lester River home with craftsmanship not often found in a newer home. 21+ acres with 1500+ ft of frontage on the Lester River. The reclaimed Douglas fir timber frame construction, Finnish masonry heater and woodwork from 5 continents all speak to the quality. The main floor features an open layout. The kitchen has slate tile and granite counter tops. As you walk up the handmade hardwood stairs to the upper level you will find the master BR. It features a loft, a large walk in closet and private deck overlooking the river. On the lower level you will find a large rec room, and sliding glass door walk out. Naturally weather resistant cedar shingle siding that fits wonderfully with the environment. The ipe decks will last for decades. The 30 x 50 shop is completely insulated and heated for year around use. Conveniently located, this home is less than 5 minutes to local amenities and 15 minutes to downtown Duluth. This home is not to be missed.
