Step inside this country home set well back on an acre and a half of wooded ground above Washburn, where beamed, vaulted ceilings carry the length of a thirty-three-foot living room, a row of five-by-five windows filling it with light and a wood-burning fireplace anchoring the far end. Three bedrooms and a remodeled full bath are also sited on the main level ? the main bedroom will accommodate a king bed with room to spare and carries two full closets ? while the walkout lower level adds a fourth bedroom with its own closet and window, a three-quarter bath with a corner shower, a den big enough to gather in, and a mechanical room with laundry. The lower level has an off-peak electric heater set into a brick hearth that holds the heat and gives it back slowly. The metal roof and vinyl siding went on about twenty years ago and both appear to be in excellent condition, and the wood-framed windows were replaced within that same twenty years; they are single-glazed, with storm windows outside. The heating system has been updated and central air added since. The kitchen has been completely remodeled with new cabinetry, countertops, sink, tile backsplash and range. Cady Plumbing remodeled the main bath within the last five years with a new vanity, toilet, flooring and tub surround. Appliances are included with the home. A standout feature of this home is its expansive and immaculately maintained deck ? forty-five feet across the front and twelve feet deep, wrapping to the far side of the home. Its coatings have been reapplied regularly so that water still beads on the boards. Three steps at the rear deck entry and five at the side make for easy access. This quality Wausau home was built with a generous, 8 inch steel I-beam running the full length of the structure. Additional features include a concrete block foundation, private well, copper supply lines, an attached one-and-a-half-car garage, with mature maple and oak surrounding this secluded home, along a road that carries very little traffic. It suits a buyer who is looking for hillside living in Washburn, with the roof, kitchen, and bath already remodeled, and equally for someone who appreciates the value of an acre and a half of peaceful, mature forest and lawn, a fully finished lower level, and expansive living space with lovely windows and a generous deck designed to connect you to this exceptionally beautiful location.

Rarely does a property like this come to market. Set on 2.63 acres with +/- 240 feet of Lake Superior frontage, this property delivers panoramic lake views from nearly every room ? a setting that simply cannot be replicated. Thoughtfully reimagined with exceptional attention to detail, this unique property lives as two distinct residences connected by a spacious three-season porch, creating remarkable flexibility for multigenerational living, guest space, or continued short-term rental use. Every portion of this property has been remodeled since the current owners purchased it, with exceptional attention to detail throughout, including an architect-driven design that maximizes lake-facing glass wherever structurally possible. A spacious three-season porch connects two wholly separate residences, offering rare flexibility: multi-generational living, an on-site rental income stream, or space for guests without sacrificing privacy. *The Rental Residence:* This residence has been used as a STR with a solid rental history (full STR P&L available). It offers 2 bedrooms, a 3/4 bath, a laundry room, and a large great room housing the kitchen, dining, and living spaces beneath vaulted ceilings. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the room, and sliding doors open directly to the yard and those incredible lake views. *The Owner's Residence:* Equally stunning, the main floor features a large primary bedroom with its own wood stove, a full bath with soaking tub, and a custom kitchen ? custom cabinetry, tile work, and a custom pantry. Kitchen doors open fully to a main-floor deck, letting the lake breeze move straight through the home. Upstairs offers flexible living space ? currently a second bedroom with a Murphy bed, living room, and office ? plus a second wood stove, a 3/4 bath, a large walk-in closet, and a private second deck with sweeping lake views. Triple-pane windows throughout this side add comfort and efficiency. The unfinished basement below houses the utility room, a half bath, a third wood stove, and washer/dryer. The property also features a two-car garage with an attached bonus room, ideal for wood storage, a small workshop, or additional storage. Solar panels help offset electricity costs. Whether you're seeking a private family compound, an investment property, or simply the finest lake views the South Shore has to offer, this property delivers all three. NOTE: Listing agent is also the property manager.
