Invite guests to this attractive waterfront home on 1.7 acres with 100 feet of private, direct, sandy-bottom frontage and a dock on all-sports Big Platte Lake.

The home’s interior features stunning views of the lake from most rooms, starting with Great Room’s soaring window views of the water accented by a wood vaulted ceiling and a sliding door to the deck. Overlooking this room, with its own views of the water, is the cook’s kitchen offering dual, built-in wall ovens, a Viking stainless gas stove with griddle, enormous counter space and lots of cupboards for cookware and pantry items. A tiled floor and backsplash provide easy kitchen clean-up. A cozy, carpeted living room, also with lake views, includes a wood-burning fireplace with a brick hearth and plenty of space for reading, watching TV or snuggling with pets.

Also on the main level are two bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a private door to a shared bathroom with a tiled shower. The second bedroom has a lake-facing door to the deck and an entry to the mud/laundry room with washer-dryer, sink and cabinets.

Upstairs are two more bedrooms, a full bath, and storage space under the eaves and then some.  Amenities include cable TV/internet, natural gas forced-air and baseboard  heating, and a lawn sprinkler system. The grassy, manicured yard includes tasteful landscaping and the back lawn leads to the sandy shore. Sit in a rocker on your covered front porch, or relax in a lounge chaise on the deck.

Right around the corner, across M-22, are trails leading to Lake Michigan. Paddle from Big Platte all the way to Lake Michigan. More photos and room dimensions, etc., are HERE.
