About This Home
Wake up to breathtaking sunrises over Lake Huron from this beautifully maintained waterfront ranch offering over 5,000 square feet of finished living space. With approximately 2,700 square feet on the main level and an additional 2,300 square feet in the finished walkout basement, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and year-round lakefront living. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath, there's room for everyone. The finished lower level also includes a Murphy bed, providing additional sleeping accommodations for family and guests. The spacious walkout basement was beautifully updated in 2024 and includes a luxurious bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi tub. The kitchen was updated in 2004 and features granite countertops, a double oven, and plenty of space for entertaining. Additional highlights include hot water boiler heat plus forced-air heating with central air, giving you the best of both worlds for year-round comfort, along with two water heaters to accommodate family and guests. Outside, you'll enjoy everything that makes Lake Huron living so special. A steel seawall, boat hoist, boat house, and tiered decking create the perfect setting for boating, entertaining, or simply relaxing while taking in the panoramic water views. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the lake or hosting summer gatherings, this property was designed to maximize waterfront living. The home will be conveyed mostly furnished, making it an outstanding opportunity as a primary residence, vacation home, or investment property. Additional updates include a new roof in 2001.
