Wonderful year round cottage with 58 feet of sandy frontage on Portage Lake which allows access to Lake Michigan recreation also. Large living room with a woodburning brick fireplace and large windows overlooking the lake. Spacious kitchen includes appliances and has a breakfast bar for eating. There are 3 bedrooms and the master bedroom has a private adjoining half bath. The 3rd bedroom is currently set up to have a washer and dryer but formally had a stacked washer and dryer in the closet so could easily go back to a bedroom. There is a family room that opens to a 12x15 three season room and huge patio, so there is plenty of room for gatherings of family and friends. Underground sprinkling keeps this lawn green and lush to the beach. Central air for those hot, humid days. Two higher qu ality storage buildings built to house the lawn mower, beach toys and lawn furniture. Accessed by a shared driveway with one neighboring cottage. Lovingly cared for by the same owners for 40 years.
