Property Description

This home is perfectly located for every Northern Michigan adventure and must be visited to truly appreciate! With a beautiful 3-season view of Upper Herring Lake, this 3 bed/2 bath quaint ranch with nearly SIX acres (after utility easements are considered) is ready for new owners to make their own and is just minutes from downtown Frankfort, Elberta, and Lake Michigan. The property is home to a variety of trees that help ensure privacy even during the winter months. Remove some of those trees and gain a fuller view of the lake during summer months. Three bedrooms and one bath transition into the main-level living room and dining room that offer that beautiful view of Upper Herring Lake. The cozy downstairs family room provides a space to relax, while the kitchenette and workshop room are ready to be finished and used for a variety of projects. The lower level bathroom has potential to be expanded/renovated. The lower level also has plenty of storage room and a wood boiler that can be utilized for back-up heating. The large detached 2-car garage provides storage for all of the "Up North" necessities. Enjoy looking out at Upper Herring Lake while sipping a cup of coffee, eating lunch, or reading a book. Take a short jaunt down the road to the public boat launch to launch your boat or go fishing or hike the trail at the nearby nature preserve. Enjoy a tubing voyage down the nearby Platte River soaking up the sun while leisurely floating to Lake Michigan. Plan a day visiting Frankfort, Beulah, Crystal Mountain, or one of many public beaches on Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake, or one of the many other smaller lakes.
