MLS# 7121403 - 19117 Kathryn Avenue Grand Rapids, MN 55744

Created with

Some homes are built simply to fill a lot. This one is being created for people who want northern Minnesota to feel like home—whether that means peaceful mornings, weekends on the water, room for family to gather, or the freedom to settle in and stay for years. Tucked into a wooded 1.54-acre setting in Oak Island Estates, this custom Blackwater Builders home offers the privacy and natural beauty people come north to find, while keeping Grand Rapids conveniences and nearby Pokegama Lake access close at hand. Launch the boat just down the road, spend the day on the lake, and return home without the upkeep, exposure and added expense that can come with direct shoreline ownership. Inside, the home is designed to feel open, warm and easy to live in. Natural light fills the main gathering spaces, while a stone fireplace creates a beautiful focal point and a welcoming place to gather through every Minnesota season. Radiant in-floor heat adds another layer of comfort, and the primary suite, laundry and everyday living are all located on the main floor—creating a home that works beautifully today and remains practical for the future. A butler’s pantry with a sink and custom cabinetry keeps entertaining effortless and the kitchen beautifully composed. When family or friends arrive, the upper level becomes their own retreat, featuring two spacious bedrooms, a full bath and an 18x30 bonus room for movies, games, work, hobbies or extended stays. The oversized 30x38 side-load garage offers three true stalls with plenty of room for storage, radiant heat, windows and a floor drain—space for vehicles, a boat and the equipment that makes northern living more enjoyable. The wooded property may also provide room for a future 40x60 accessory building, subject to applicable approvals. Built by a local craftsman with more than 25 years of experience, this is not a home assembled simply to meet the minimum. Thoughtful materials, energy-efficient systems, custom cabinetry and carefully considered details create a home designed to feel substantial, comfortable and lasting. Construction is already underway, offering the ease of a new home without beginning the building process from scratch—and, for a limited time, buyers may still personalize select cabinetry, granite, flooring, bath tile, paint colors and hardware. This is lake-country living with privacy, flexibility and room to breathe—a home made for gathering around the fire, retreating into nature and enjoying everything that brought you north in the first place.
