Completely renovated in 2024 with new metal roofs, siding, furnace and windows. Inside features all new flooring, walls, insulation, bathrooms (including a Finnish steam shower), and custom blinds. Also the addition of mini splits for cooling in the summer. Enjoy evenings in the 3 season 22’x15’ sunporch. The living room features a wood burning fireplace and built-in entertainment center and bookcases. Kitchen highlights include cherry wood cabinets, granite counters, a snack bar and built-in desk, and a doorway to the new expansive deck with lake views. A fully equipped cottage apartment with attached garage was also updated in 2024 which includes adding a mini split for heating & cooling. The cedar-shake boathouse offers additional sleeping quarters. The grounds include many species of native plants, trees and shrubs. Among them are a forest of pine, cedar, balsam, cherry and birch. A meadow offers horseshoe pits, a natural area for badminton, apple trees, raspberries, grapes. Empire village amenities include parks, beaches, restaurants, and shops.
