About the host
Hosted by Mary Hamel
Tim is a local building contractor who grew up in Washburn. He says he always admired this house growing up. Mary grew up in Minneapolis and has a penchant for older, well built and charming houses. They live 3 miles away (in another historic home,) so can be available for questions or any urgent needs.
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.
