PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Residential - 1 Story

Fabulous home with breathtaking views! Waterfront living in Portage Township within minutes of Houghton. This stunning house is an absolute gem and is situated on the most lucrative coastline in the area! As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a spacious and elevated foyer equipped with a large closet, all overlooking the Portage Canal and the living room. The primary bedroom suite offers a breathtaking 180-degree view of the canal, where you can see the Portage lift bridge towards the east and enjoy stunning summer sunsets from to the west. From the primary bedroom, you can gaze down at your very own peninsula, which comes with a sandy beach, dock, storage shed, and a fantastic swimming area. The kitchen is open and spacious, with stainless appliances, beautiful tile and an island where you will easily manage cooking and entertaining. Just out the patio door is the large upper deck where you can create unforgettable memories with summer BBQ parties, while boat watching, including watching The Ranger III pass by, which never gets old. In the left wing are two bedrooms with good closet space and a huge bathroom all just off the kitchen. The lower level of this house is finished, making it an ideal spot for a home gym, additional family room, home office space, hosting large gatherings, or whatever you have in mind. The lower deck provides a perfect shady spot to relax in summer while offering a panoramic view of the canal. The hot tub on the deck is in excellent condition, has a brand-new cover, control unit and ozone system. There is a considerable amount of storage space available on this level that can be utilized for your deck furniture or other summer items. A room bonus here can be a 4th bedroom/guest room. The large downstairs bathroom comes with a wet sauna, a great way to boost physical and mental health. This home has an above-garage mother-in-law suite with a kitchen, bathroom and living room/bedroom area which comes fully furnished. While the stairs to this apartment could be opened into the home with a simple renovation, the entrance is currently from two car attached garage. Your guests will love the privacy of this apartment, which the previous owners used for guests and as an owner-occupied short-term rental. The lot width is 155 feet by 130 feet; however, with the peninsula the property has 200’ of waterfront. The peninsula has electrical outlets and a dusk to dawn light for navigating your boat home at night. The home comes with a roll-in dock. Some home specifics are 4-5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 3976 finished square feet, forced air heating with central air, in ground sprinkler system which runs off lake water, a 2 car attached garage and another large 1+ car garage. And did I mention the views from almost every window are simply amazing! All information is believed to be true but buyer bears full responsibility of verifying.
