This fabulous waterfront home on Island Lake in Marquette County is stunning in style and quality! There is 12 acres with 368 feet of lakefront on this picture perfect lake in the north country. This is one of those homes that is tastefully unique, high end yet livable, cozy but magnificent, and a bit of the old with a whole lot of new updates. The original structure was a typical Northwoods cabin complete with stone fireplace and original Rosemaling on the beams and kitchen cupboards. It also features quaint built in wooden bunk beds. Most of the home was built in the last decade and is creatively crafted to blend with the original cabin. Here you will find features such as an English mantle, in floor heating, massive vaulted ceilings, high grade kolbe windows and doors with waterfront views, Viking range, Kohler fixtures, Weil Mclean boiler system with multiple zones, gas fireplace in the master suite, a front porch sun room overlooking the lake, and main floor laundry. There is a separate bedroom suite with a bath in the walkout area of the basement which is perfect for guests or a live-in relative. The grounds are landscaped with hundreds of perennials set among huge stone walls and terraces. On the grounds you will find a potting shed, storage shed, and a stand alone building with stained glass and vaulted ceilings. The log sauna is tempting and has steps leading to the dock for easy water access. There is decking overlooking the lake large enough for outdoor entertaining. A large garage provides plenty of storage as well. This private lakefront retreat is just minutes from M-95 making for an easy drive to Iron Mountain or Marquette. Year round access can make this an all year home or a four season retreat. Island Lake is 45 acres and over 25 feet deep with good fishing and endless peace and quiet. This home must be viewed to be appreciated. It is fantastic. The seller also owns the Island offshore which can be available if the discerning buyer so chooses. You cannot produce this home for twice the price. Take one look and you will fall in love! The Island in Island Lake is also available for $99,900!
