Great fixer-upper on a wooded lot with Shagawa Lake views. Just walk across the road and launch your boat, take a swim or throw in a line. The Shagawa Lake public beach and playground is only one block away. The house needs some TLC but has great potential. The house has a newer metal roof and a ramp at the front entrance. There are hard wood floors in the living room and bedrooms. It's like living on the lake without lakeshore taxes!!
