Description for 24 E Conan St, Ely, MN, 55731

Charming Updated Antique Home for Sale in Ely This beautifully updated antique home, featuring four bedrooms and one and a quarter bath, is now seeking a new owner. Built in the 1930s by early Finnish settlers, the home has been lovingly maintained and continuously lived in since its construction. The front entrance opens into a stunning three-season northern-exposure porch, adorned with traditional beadboard walls and ceiling, offering a warm and inviting space to enjoy throughout much of the year. Inside, the open living and dining room features an architectural copper ceiling, refinished hardwood floors, and vintage trim details. According to the granddaughter of the original owners, much of the wood trim was sourced from a historic boarding house in Winton. The first floor boasts newer windows and custom window treatments in both the living/dining room and the master bedroom, all installed by the current owner. Updated Kitchen and Pantry The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with Pecan cabinets, Cambria countertops, a Lira kitchen sink, a Lieber stainless refrigerator, matching upper display shelves, and spice cabinets. There is generous storage space both in the kitchen and in the adjacent pantry, which features floor-to-ceiling matching Pecan cabinets and an original, updated flour bin. Beautiful period lighting fixtures, including replacements sourced from architectural suppliers consistent with the home's era, enhance the atmosphere. Notably, repurposed schoolhouse lights were obtained from the Lincoln School, which was demolished in 1980. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a south-facing deck with wrap-around seating and a composite floor, providing a perfect spot for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment. Home Systems and Improvements Modern updates include a newer furnace, a dry basement with a drainage system installed around the perimeter, insulated and painted basement walls, and blown-in wall insulation. The original sauna and change room have been replaced with a luxurious steam shower for contemporary comfort. Exterior Features The exterior is equally impressive, with a fully fenced yard landscaped with ferns, perennials, plum and cedar trees, a Dusty Rose patio area, a new cement pad for alley parking and walkway. The home features cedarwood lap siding and metal California-style adobe shingles on both the main home and garage.
