Description

Very updated beautiful log Home near Burntside Lake that is priced to sell. Towering pines adorn the lot and the sale includes an access to the shore of Burntside Lake. Virtually everything is new with an awesome new open floor plan on the main floor with new 3/4 inch oak plank flooring. Main infrastructure items are all new. High efficiency LP furnace, 3 on demand water heaters and central air. Two bedrooms on the upper level, one bedroom is the open area between the steps and master bedroom, and a bonus bedroom built off the garage with heat. All new stainless appliances are negotiable items. This is virtually a new home inside. Nice two car detached garage with the attached sauna and bonus bedroom. Also a wood shed with insulated storage area sealed to keep the little critters out. Off peak electric installed but not heavily used and a very nice wood fire place in the living area that can heat the whole home. Easy access to Van Vac Rd and the near by public landing.

    "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."
