About 147 Foothill Blvd

Tree top living in the Sweet Sugar Maples overlooking inland Lutsen and Caribou Lake. In fall and winter see all the way to Lake Superior! This class-act 3 bedroom, 2 bath home sits high up, all by itself, abutting public land to the south – private location! Current owners have been excellent stewards of this Northwoods Gem. Nothing to do, just show up, unpack, start living the life long imagined. Kitchen has ample room and lots of custom cabinetry. Corrian is a touch of elegance and tough enough to handle a walleye fish fry and wild blueberry pancakes. Primary bedroom is equipped with ensuite bath and private balcony overlooking all! Two more bedrooms, bathed in sylvan light and views, provide guaranteed good dreams. Or make one of those a home office with the best views of all your co-workers. Wraparound new composite deck looks great! Here all is dappled light, leafy breezes and big views of Caribou Lake. Wonderful finishes both inside and out. Exterior is cedar siding in excellent condition and a dramatic stone fireplace. Inside the stone fireplace is the focal point of the living room, unless you look up at the antler chandelier! Actually, the wall of glass overlooking the woods is the showstopper! All those maples await the syrup hobbyist and provide firewood for the woodstove in the lower level and the firepit. The firepit was thoughtfully prepared, surrounded in colorful washed rock, underlaid with fire brick and ably accessorized with two sturdy benches the owner made at North House Folk School - story-telling, smores, and cowboy TV! That woodstove downstairs was mindfully engineered to articulate its heat via a fan to additional areas of the home, cozy! Infloor heat is cozy, too. Wow, wait until fall – the place explodes with color. Northern lights from this vantage are mind-blowing. Winter, the woodsmoke curls into the forest and it’s time to catch up on reading and consult maps for summer adventures, Or, get out there and shred at Lutsen Mts, about 15 minutes away. XC skiing even closer. Access to the State Snowmobile trail is nearby. Speaking of trails, the Superior Hiking Tr is less than a mile from the doorstep. Tuck under garage makes unloading easy. Side storage area ingeniously designed to allow pass through for a snowmobile or ATV. Neighbors are furry, four legged and abundant! Lutsen, Views, Privacy, Hilltop… Doesn’t get much better.
