Welcome to a stunning Portage Lake property, perfect for those who value privacy. The lot stretches approximately 550 feet deep from the road, and the private driveway is lined with dense trees, ensuring the house is completely out of sight from the road, unlike many waterfront properties. The lot features a beautiful, wadeable sandy bottom lakefront. Inside, the living room boasts a cozy wood fireplace and is brightened by skylights. The 12x12 sunroom (unheated) offers great views of the lake, perfect for relaxation. The kitchen is ready for a dishwasher installation, with existing plumbing and electrical hookups from a previous unit. The master bedroom includes a private bathroom for added convenience. Underneath the home is a crawlspace with a concrete slab. The property includes a 12x20 wood fired sauna with changing room and has power, water, and a hot water heater, as well as an 8x12 shed next to the sauna. The oversized 3-car garage (32x26) is equipped with power, water (including a sink), and dropdown stairs leading to a storage area above. Utilities include an artesian well through Sirtola Well, a septic system for sewer, and propane heating, with natural gas available on the street. The home has previously used phone and cable services. A floor plan will be provided soon. A lot of personal property can be sold separately for if one wants to move in with ease! Offers will be responded to on Wednesday, June 19th. Come enjoy west-facing views for breathtaking sunsets!
