Koivu Koti 3: "Birch House" in heart of Houghton

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 touches! The space This unique house mixed of old and new is central to the entire town of Houghton! Take your first step into the beautiful “GREAT room” featuring 30 + ft. vaulted wood ceilings supported by giant rough sawn pine beams, with windows lining the room to bring in the most beautiful light throughout the day. Beautiful birch trees add a fun touch to 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 to keep the historic feel flowing throughout this home along with modern updates. Koivu Koti boasts a brand new 2020 bathroom. Featuring a classic vintage brick shower & farmhouse sink. This is just one of the numerous additions and updates that you will appreciate about this home. There is a fully stocked kitchen, making it very easy to cook all your meals at home if you prefer. A great outdoor porch gives you endless hours of sunlight to sip on your favorite beverages or enjoy BBQing outside. This house is an open concept layout with only 2 stairs to get from the great room to the rest of the space. There is a large king bedroom suite with the new bathroom attached. There is a bonus bedroom with a twin bed enclosed by a birch wall and custom curtains to add privacy. Wake up to a sea of birch trees!
