Description

Four-bedroom, two-bathroom, well-maintained home overlooking Lake Superior in Schroeder for $379,000!? Must be a typo? Nope! And more: five acres, detached two-car garage, compliant septic system, good water, up the peaceful Cramer Rd. Close enough to town for a brisk morning walk, terminating about a mile away at the Schroeder Bakery for coffee and treats (and a good jaw-jacking session with the locals solving the world’s problems.) Stroll over to the Cross River to be mesmerized by the cascading...Four-bedroom, two-bathroom, well-maintained home overlooking Lake Superior in Schroeder for $379,000!? Must be a typo? Nope! And more: five acres, detached two-car garage, compliant septic system, good water, up the peaceful Cramer Rd. Close enough to town for a brisk morning walk, terminating about a mile away at the Schroeder Bakery for coffee and treats (and a good jaw-jacking session with the locals solving the world’s problems.) Stroll over to the Cross River to be mesmerized by the cascading flow. The home is laid out sensibly with enough elbow room for the whole gang: family, friends, four-leggeds... And/or make one of those bedrooms into an office or crafts room. Current owners are doing short-term vacation rental when they are away to help offset costs. Folks like this neck of the woods. Schroeder is not as far a drive as Lutsen or Grand Marais, yet it is close enough to all the wonder, fun and serenity the North Shore is known for. Dyers Lake is a nice little trout and crappie lake just down the Cramer Rd a bit. Superior Hiking trail is nearby. Schroeder Historical Society and Sugarloaf Cove are must-visits to go deep on the history and ecology of the area. Public Lake Superior beach and boat landing are little known gems of Schroeder. Though why leave your new pad? Might be hard to peel yourself away from sitting on the deck, with beverage, overlooking the splendor that is Gitchee Gummee - its mystical ways, everchanging moods, majesty. The air comes up from the Big Lake cool and pure. During a nor’easter the Lake’s grinding molars are audible. When it’s 110 degrees and humid in the urban concrete furnace, here it is cool, light, zephyrs, leafy and lazy. The home is ready to go, just show up, start the new plan, reinvent, relax. Life’s a bit more gentle in these parts. Rev down to a slower pace. Get into something affordable for once in Cook County! Oh, and by all means, get busy: there’s a great place for a garden and greenhouse. A few fruit trees would thrive. Like to volunteer? Cook County is full of options. Just get here, make the dream happen, the rest will sort itself out. (Owners are licensed real estate agents.)
