This historic home is situated on a corner in a
neighborhood only a block away from the downtown area and a short stroll
to Lake Superior. It is comprised of two lots that total just over
1/3 acre. Plenty of parking exists, and the zoning permits any business usage.
A great opportunity for someone looking for a small Lifestyle B&B; an
initial, inexpensive property in which to initiate themselves to the B&B
business; a large family residence or a vacation property! Also could
be a great investment for someone uncertain as to their own commitment to
the Innkeeper life, but who is seeking a historic home / quality retirement
venue at a reasonable price.
Inside the home are spacious first level areas such as the kitchen and the
dining room with its built-in buffet. There’s also a porch to the front
and a deck off of the back family room. First floor hardwood floors and little
touches like knotty pine walls add to a cozy feeling.
This home has 2675 square feet on two levels, with 1765 square feet on the
main level, and 910 square feet on the second level. Of the four bedrooms
in the home, one is on the main floor, with a private bathroom, providing
accessibility for anyone with limited mobility. The three other bedrooms
are on the second level, and currently share the same bathroom. However,
space and layout would allow this set-up to be modified to provide several
rooms with their own individual bathrooms.
Overall the property is in good condition, with cedar shake shingles on the
exterior that were painted two years ago, 9 year old vinyl window replacements
and a roof that is 18 years old. The furnace is a 3 year old natural
gas / forced air unit, the home has central air conditioning, and the electrical
has been updated to a 200 amp system. An attached two-car garage provides
both additional storage and other living options, should owners wish more
rooms. A basement area adds another 1560 square feet of storage area.
Plenty of Owners Quarters space exists for a family if used as a residence.
Should this be employed as a B&B, several options exist to provide at
least three B&B bedrooms in addition to OQ
