Property Description

Experience an exceptional Lake Huron retreat where refined interiors meet breathtaking waterfront scenery. Expansive windows frame magnificent sunrise views and fill the open-concept living spaces with natural light. Although built just 24 years ago, the residence has been extensively updated with meticulous attention to quality, creating a truly magazine-worthy home. Vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors enhance the airy interior, while the thoughtfully designed split-bedroom layout offers privacy and comfort. At the heart of the home, the newly updated kitchen showcases rich hickory cabinetry, quartz countertops, and new appliances. The expansive primary suite overlooks the lake, offering a serene escape, while the private sunroom provides an idyllic setting for morning coffee as the sun ... rises and freighters glide across the horizon. Outside, a maintenance-free composite deck spans the lakeside of the home, inviting you to relax and enjoy refreshing breezes and panoramic water views. Exceptional storage and workspace options further distinguish the property. The finished and heated 24-by-32-foot main garage is thoughtfully divided, allowing one section to serve as a dedicated workshop or recreation space. A newer 24-by-36-foot addition features 12-foot ceilings and a 10-foot overhead door, providing generous room for an RV, boat, recreational vehicles, and other equipment. The home is set on a six-block-high crawl space, conveniently accessed through Bilco doors and finished with a concrete floor and full lighting for easy access to plumbing lines and ample dry storage. Set along 101 feet of Lake Huron frontage, the property features a stone-and-sand beach, a riprap breakwall for shoreline protection, and unforgettable sunrise views. The grounds blend natural plantings, perennial flowers, and mature trees, complemented by a brick-paver patio and firepit overlooking the water. A fenced yard provides a defined outdoor area for pets and children, while a garden shed offers convenient tool storage. Additional highlights include a paved driveway, a new roof, a low-maintenance vinyl exterior, and a spacious laundry room with abundant cabinetry and a utility sink. The lake-facing primary suite is enhanced by a bay window and a four-piece en suite bath with a clawfoot soaking tub and separate stall shower. Abundant windows throughout the home capture natural light and water views, while 200-amp electrical service and a Generac backup system provide added functionality and peace of mind. The waterfront sits above an approximately 10-foot bank. For level lake access, a three-acre neighborhood park is just a few hundred feet down the road, offering an easy place to launch kayaks or enjoy the shoreline.
