LOCATION, history, world class trail access, & a unique story make this home a must stay. Koivu Koti, (birch house- in Finnish), is one of the ONLY homes in central Houghton! This 1870's historic beauty was hoisted up & moved across the street in 2004. Once a Cross Country Ski shop & a vintage & re-purposed marketplace, it is now a pristine rental & gateway to the Keweenaw to enjoy w/ fam/friends. We have worked hard to keep the historic beauty while renovating with modern/rustic touches! The space This 3,000 + sq. ft. home sits on a 100 x 100 ft. lot that is central to the entire town of Houghton! Take your first step into the beautiful “GREAT room” featuring 30 ft. vaulted pine ceilings supported by giant pine beams, with windows lining the room to bring in the most beautiful light throughout the day. Beautiful birch trees add to the “up north” feel of this room. The GREAT room was added to the historic 1870’s original mining home in 2005 as an addition that is thoughtfully blended together with its rustic decor to keep the historic feel flowing throughout this home.
