Single Family Residence In Au Train

Of all Lake Superior’s south shore, there’s only one Shelter Bay. Alger county’s unique cove protected by Grand, Wood and Au Train Islands gives this 4 bedroom/2 bath home spectacular views as well as a front row seat to this Sweetwater Sea’s most sought after melody. Built by Lynn Swadley, the custom layout makes for ideal one-level living, but still with plenty of guest, storage and library or home office space on the floor above. The entry opens to the Great Room and 2-stories of windows facing the Lake. With a wood burning fireplace at the east end, it’s the perfect spot to gather friends and family in every season, or curl up with your favorite novel. The adjoining kitchen has maple cabinets, stainless appliances, large island for meal prep and serving as well as a convenient pantry and laundry right around the corner. A bay window anchors the dining nook where mealtimes can also be combined with daily weather watching. The main level east wing is devoted to a spacious primary suite--with more views of Big Blue--and another fireplace, this one gas powered. Upstairs, 3 more bedrooms and full bath offer plenty of guest space. Nearly 400 square feet of private library, home office, or family room is in the bonus space above the 2-car attached garage. You’ll appreciate the attention to detail, inside and out, from the maple floors and built in bookcases to the stone patio and cedar shingles. Imagine if your best investment was also your favorite place to wake up. Out of 5 Great Lakes, only one is named Superior.
