About this House

This 2 story 4 bedroom 2 bath home will blow you away! The woodwork in this house will enchant you and remind you every morning that you are in the beautiful Ely, MN. This property has been gorgeously redone top to bottom featuring new windows, remodeled main floor bath, remodeled upstairs full bath, main floor laundry, refinished hardwood floors, fresh exterior paint, new electrical service, fantastic butcher block countertops and more! Step outside into the amazingly landscaped yard with a little nook in the front of the house shaded by beautiful cedar trees to relax and keep cool hot summer days and the big deck in back has been redone to accommodate guests and grilling all year long! The mature apple and plum trees and fruit bearing bushes are a great touch for a 'homestead' style of living. Keep the lawn and garden tools in the big shed and save the one stall garage with a new door for your vehicle. This is a must see gem on a beautiful street!

    "Ely is located at the end of the road. No roads go to much further north due to the boundary waters canoe area which strictly prohibits dwellings or any man made structures. Ely can seem like a long way from anywhere at times and the community recognizes this and most willing are willing to help whoever and whenever the need may arise. We take care of our own and then some . "

    "as a new comer to ely try to get into activities around town, especially if you have younger children who are not school age. jobs are not always easy to find and though the cost of living is fairly low you do money can get tight quickly. ely is a nice town but it's hard on you too. more work for less. your kids are safe here but still know who you're talking to before hand."
