Just 5 miles outside of Eagle River, this 2300 sq foot 3-bedroom, 2-bath bi-level home sits on nearly 3 acres with 250 feet of frontage overlooking this 31 acre wilderness type body of water known as Frost Lake. The views are incredible, and there is always something to watch and enjoy. Sit out on the sun deck with your morning coffee, take in the changing seasons, or watch the trumpeter swans out on the lake. There's plenty of yard for kids, pets, gardens, bonfires, and all other activities you can dream up. Inside, the main level has a bright, open feel with vaulted ceilings and expansive windows taking full advantage of the panoramic views. The kitchen, dining and living areas flow nicely together, along with a spacious bedroom and an additional room with a closet that could work as an office, mudroom, pantry, or whatever your family needs. The lower level offers two more nicely sized bedrooms, a full bath, and a comfortable rec/family room with easy walk-out access to the yard. If you need room for toys, boats, vehicles, you'll have it here. There is an attached heated garage, plus an impressive 36' x 40' detached garage, two storage buildings and a fenced garden area.
