140 Tonkin Road Ishpeming, MI 49849-9792

Stunning 4/5 bedroom, 2.5-bath home with 2-full kitchens was originally built in 2001 & extensively renovated and expanded. Located just 15 minutes from Ishpeming & adjacent to the Hoist Basin. This beautiful wooded 10-acre non-association property offers ATV/walking trails, and exceptional privacy surrounded by maple, birch & massive white pines. High-grade material construction and fixtures are showcased throughout (see virtual & video tours). A wide concrete apron leads to an expansive cedar wraparound deck, about ¾ covered, accented by tongue-and-groove ceilings and a charming spiral staircase. Nearly every room offers serene, wooded views. Outdoors also feature a large, fenced garden and a versatile shed (previously a chicken coop) equipped with electricity and running water. Outbuildings include a 20’x19’ detached, heated garage with 9’ ceilings, a 24’x30’ pole barn with poured concrete floors, electric, and water, and three high-ceiling 16’x16’ lean-to bays for storing recreational gear or equipment. Mechanical systems are high-efficiency: a new NTI propane boiler with six heating zones, PEX plumbing, on-demand hot water, and a backup Hardy stainless steel outdoor wood boiler that heats the house, garage, and water. The entire home is outfitted with radiant in-floor heating and central A/C via a heat pump rated for subzero temps. Foam insulation in the roof, walls, and floors ensures optimal efficiency, paired with a hidden-fastener metal roof and low-E, argon-filled safety-rated windows. Interior flooring features Swedish “Valinge” ½” real oak throughout. The walk-out lower level is ideal for a guest suite, Airbnb, or in-law suite, offering a full second kitchen with quartz countertops and custom birch cabinets, a tiled barrier-free full bath, laundry hook-ups, an office/bedroom, a mechanical room, and a large den for relaxation & entertaining. The main level showcases 9’ ceilings and a spacious Great Room with three oversized picture windows that frame views of the surrounding forest and garden. A Pacific Energy high-efficiency enamel wood stove offers excellent supplemental heat. The open-concept main kitchen is fully outfitted with GE Cafe appliances, solid maple custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a large eat-in island, and ceramic tile flooring. This level also features a half bath and a versatile bedroom that can serve as an office or den. Three entry doors provide direct access to the wraparound deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, you’ll find 2/3 additional bedrooms, including a private master suite with scenic views, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious bath featuring a soaking tub and a digital four-head walk-in tile shower.
