Property Description
170 feet of no-steps lake frontage. Spectacular views. Iconic vintage home. Step back in time with this timeless Adirondack boathouse-style lakefront home on 170 feet of beautiful Klinger Lake shoreline in southwest Michigan. This 2815 sq feet, 4 BR/2BA vintage charmer retains the skilled craftsmanship of a classic Michigan cottage while offering year round living. Original features include solid hardwood floors, Michigan fieldstone fireplace and chimney, and pecky cypress walls. The kitchen, roof, cedar shake siding, windows, and doors have been thoughtfully updated, but the appeal in this home is in what remains original. Spend long summer days on a covered waterfront patio, have coffee in the morning on the lakeside screened porch, and access the flat, sandy shoreline any time. An expansive ground floor level with on-the-water views from large arched windows make a delightful living area, bunk room and recreation space, with an updated full bath and laundry for easy access. Storage and mechanical rooms round out this level. Upstairs, a lakefront living room with a wood burning fireplace, an updated kitchen with quartz counters, a full bath, and 3 bedrooms offer nonstop lake views. Set on a .43-acre lot in a quiet cove, this property offers a large fenced area for outdoor activities, pets, or family gatherings, while additional grounds offer extra guest parking. The shallow swimming beach is ready for the children, while the Hewitt Roll-A-Dock is the perfect spot to dock your boats. Get away from it all as you take the private, dead-end road to this quiet and natural setting with plenty of room to expand.
