This beautiful, character-filled victorian home sprawled on 5 acres, in Manitou Beach is a must see! Conveniently located close to Devils Lake, US 127 and US 223, as well as a short commute to the MIS! The overflowing character found throughout includes solid wood doors, molding, built-ins, 2 separate staircases with beautifully carved banisters/balusters, huge kitchen pantry that was once used to serve food through to the other room, antique light fixtures, built in laundry shoot found in the "maids quarters," an absolutely stunning fireplace mantel, and the list goes on. Along with being painted and landscaped, other updates include, new furnace, water heater and gutters in November 2017, new plumbing completed in July 2017, brand new first floor bathroom and carpeting in Summer 2017. The upstairs carpeting has been steam cleaned. The foundation was also rebuilt in 1965. You have 3 great spots for outdoor relaxing and enjoying the property views, from the brick paver patio/terrace, covered front porch (made of a composite material easy to maintain) as well as the exterior balcony (crows nest) from the library. You will find a purpose for every room, including a potential of 2 additional bedrooms. Outbuilding/barn may need some work, but has 2 horse stalls!This home is perfect for everyone, including the outdoor enthusiasts with ATV's. At the east end of the property line, you can discover remnants of a popular railroad that was used back in WW 2. Folks would gather at get on the train near the Manitou Beach post office, and jump off the train to visit this very home! So much history and beauty, you must see to truly appreciate it.
