It has that up-north feeling without the 4-hour drive. 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 1 half bath and 1,076 square feet with a functional layout and endless potential to make it your own. The basement adds even more usable space with a full bath and a flexible area which could be perfect for a living space, home office, studio, workout room, or hobby area. The oversized lot gives you room to actually enjoy your yard, whether that means summer bonfires, gardening, entertaining, or simply having space to breathe. The oversized garage is perfect for all of your stuff plus theres another detached garage in the back! Whitmore Lake is just a short walk from your front door and the public boat launch is only a 2 minutes drive. While there is no deeded lake access, lake life is right around the corner.
