About This Home
Walking distance from Ely, wooded and private, this 1/2+ acre, lot hosts two well cared for 1890's era historic Finnish homes along with the original sauna and carriage house / workshop. Homes are both small (<1000 sf) on 2 levels with large decks. "Kettu" is heated and hooked up to city water/sewer, while "Peregrine" is finished upstairs and still needs water/sewer and heat. Each small house has it's own driveway with room for a garage. All 4 buildings have siding shingles over the original Finnish vertical logs and have newer roofs. Strong, dry, block and rock foundations are built into the north facing slope. The Carriage house is 22 x 19.
