Located on popular Ely Lake in Eveleth/Fayal Township, this stunning mid-century modern home was custom designed by architect Michael McGuire for the one family that’s homesteaded here it’s entire life. It is brilliantly sited on the lake’s most tranquil bay with a gradual 2.1 acre lot offering complete privacy and 253ft of crystal clear shoreline. Its Western exposure showcases amazing lake and sunset views. The landscaping features a beautiful heritage flower garden, many perennial plantings, and decorative trees — all framed by gorgeous mature White Pines. No need to walk stairs to get to shore as the home is just steps from (and level to) the water’s edge. You will enjoy incredible swimming, fishing, boating, snowmobiling, saunaing, and relaxing in this peaceful retreat. Interior features include a wall of lake-facing sliding glass doors, 4 large bedrooms, a bathroom on each floor, 2-sided wood burning fireplace, custom Birch doors and frames throughout, and tasteful rough-cut Cedar accents. Also included is a 3-car garage w/metal roof, dock, large sauna with changing room, large lake-facing screened porch, asphalt drive, and city sewer & gas. The home was re-roofed in 2021 and a new well was installed in 2011. It is located 2.75 hours from the Twin Cites with convenient access (10-20 minutes) to charming downtown Eveleth, Gilbert, Virginia & Giants Ridge. Ely Lake is spring-fed and known for its size, depth, water clarity, quality fish stock, and lack of weeds. The island at the center of the lake (just a 10 minute canoe paddle) is an amazing secret getaway — you’ll feel like you’ve been magically transported to the pristine beauty of the Boundary Waters.
