About This Home

As of June 2025

Back on the market! Welcome to your Lester Park oasis. Located just 4 blocks from Amity/Lester and directly across from Lester Elementary and its playground, this lovely home has a private, cozy, and woodsy ambiance with views of nature inside and out. The back yard is great for entertaining with a barrel sauna, a beautiful cedar pergola, and a creek flowing next door. The cabin-like front porch welcomes you into the vaulted tongue and groove ceiling and open floor plan. The large living room is centered around a massive wood stove adorned by Lake Superior rocks. The dining room is combined but there's a cute nook for extra space. The kitchen has been completely remodeled and is open to the entire main floor living space. There's a 3/4 bath on the main level as well as a huge primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings and patio doors to the back yard. The finished lower level features a newly remodeled full bath with a gorgeous clawfoot tub and tile surround. The walk-out basement also features another bedroom, a large laundry area, and a bonus room as well. Enjoy the convenience of the 1 car garage and plenty of off-street parking. This charming Lakeside gem is not only close to the world class hiking, biking, and skiing trails at Lester/Amity, but it's just a stone's throw to Lake Superior, the Lakewalk, Lake Superior Brewing, groceries, clinics, coffee shops, and all that the North Shore has to offer. This is the listing you've been waiting for!
