North Country Living with Elegance This custom home, in desirable Copper Harbor, offers all of the amenities of modern living, with the northland feel of living in the woods. With three bedrooms, and two and a half baths on three levels, and living and dining rooms built for entertaining, the house at Bernard’s End has light and space for comfortable living, year-round. The former owners were artists, incorporating custom cabinetry, woodworking, ceramics and stained glass elements into a light-filled, welcoming home. Built in the French style, with utility areas below, the second floor/main level has a sizable living room with a built in desk and bookcase, and generous deep windows on the north and west sides. For winter charm, there’s a woodstove with a hand-crafted tile surround extending to the ceiling. On the east side, a custom kitchen and dining room have incredible craftsman oak and walnut cabinets and trim, and a bright breakfast room with ample light from a north facing window bank and east windows overlooking the private courtyard. The Bosch dishwasher is new and the range and refrigerator are less than five years old. A half-bath and a guest room are tucked on the south side, just off the living room. Upstairs there’s a large, elegant primary bedroom with generous closets and storage space, a west facing bay-window seat and skylights. A good-sized secondary bedroom and spacious bathroom across the hall also have skylights. At ground level, there’s an interior garage, finished laundry, utility room, three quarter bath, and an unfinished area formerly used as a potting studio, which could be built out into additional living area, office or bedroom. A multi-level outdoor deck is perfect for fair weather dining and entertaining, overlooking the courtyard area and the south facing rear yard. Located just inside the Village of Copper Harbor, the house is connected to municipal water and sewage service, and is fully plowed by the County Road Commission in the winter. For storm emergencies, it has a new, fully automated back-up generator system, propane powered, for seamless and continuous electrical service, regardless of what the weather may bring. The home is efficiently heated with hydronic baseboard units. A newer double roof system adds heating efficiency, with additional storage access in the eaves. For additional parking, there’s a separate, free-standing 16’ X 24’ lofted garage on the eastern side of the property that, together with fencing creates a private and wooded courtyard area. The separate garage can be used for additional parking, storage, or converted to additional living and/or rental space (with additional upper level storage, or build-out available.) Just steps away, you have access to the Richard and Sharon Powers Hiking Trail, taking you to the most beautiful corners of Hunter’s Point and a short distance to the marina. There is no motorized access to this trail, ensuring that your gateway to nature remains quiet.
