The natural beauty of Big Platte Lake waterfront and a stone mason’s artistry combine to make this spacious ranch home a one-of-a-kind offering. Your private 10 ft. access on the lake’s sandy west end provides a convenient spot to swim, paddleboard, kayak, and moor your boat offshore. Enter this 4 BR, 3.5 BA home under a stone archway inlaid with a cut-stone heart. Follow the oak floor into the living room with natural fieldstone fireplace, dining area with screened porch entry, and kitchen with eat-in dining, granite counters and updated appliances. Three carpeted bedrooms on the main floor include a primary bedroom suite with a full bathroom with jacuzzi tub. One bedroom with an outside door makes an ideal place for your office or home business. A tiled laundry/mudroom, a second full bath, and a half bath near the garage complete the home’s main level living. The finished lower level includes a family room with a fieldstone gas fireplace and wood ceiling, a bedroom with an egress window, and a bathroom with a custom tiled shower. A workshop area will please the DIYers and tinkerers. Keep your favorite vintages in the wine/pantry cold storage room. Stash your household equipment and supplies in the utility/storage room. Large storage closets in the family room await your seasonal gear, housewares and holiday décor. The attached screened porch with a metal roof includes an attractive vaulted ceiling design and wood floor. The home boasts an aluminum roof with a forever guarantee, wiring for the included generator, and pull-down steps to the garage attic. Outdoor spaces feature Trex decking off the primary BR, a flagstone patio off the porch, and landscaping and flower gardens. Follow a walkway to the private lake access to enjoy all water sports. The sunsets here will amaze you! From here, it’s a Platte River paddle or a pleasant drive to nearby Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park.
