Nestled on a wooded .92 acre plot, this custom-built home is a true retreat surrounded by nature. Designed by architect Jerry Janiga, this home showcases open beam construction, an airy open foyer, and expansive wood casement windows that flood the space with natural light. The thoughtful design embraces the seasons, with a loving ode to the previous owner: "On the day of the winter solstice, the sun at the moment of rising in the east shines directly through the entire length of the central foyer" - a nod to the home’s unique personality. Featuring 4 bedrooms (first-floor primary suite), 3 full bathrooms, and a spacious 2-car attached garage, this two-story home offers a warm, welcoming layout. The stone hearth in the living room features stones collected from the shores of Lake Superior, adding a personal touch to this cherished space. Upstairs, a loft overlooks the living room, enhancing the sense of openness, while the full unfinished basement—complete with large egress bay windows —provides limitless possibilities for customization. The home is equipped with recent updates including new water filtration and softener systems (2023) and newer kitchen appliances, including a gas stove/oven, refrigerator, washer, and dryer (all within the last five years). Outdoors, the property is adorned with wild black cherry, oak, maple, jack pine, and white pine trees, many of which were lovingly preserved during the home’s construction. This home’s quality craftsmanship and attention to detail make it a timeless standout. WoodHenge, as the family fondly calls it, is ready for its next chapter—offering an exceptional opportunity to create new memories in a truly special home. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind property that blends charm, character, and potential in a serene natural setting. Schedule your private tour today!
