About the Listing 106444 - UP3901
Lakefront on Portage Lake - Set on a rare parcel with one of the best sandy beaches on Portage Lake, this 3 BR, 2 1/2 bath home is built for enjoying the Upper Peninsula year-round. Summers mean boating & swimming off your own beach, & winters bring ice fishing, snowmobiling, & snowshoeing, with a warm fire awaiting your return. The lake finds you the moment you walk in. The living room is the heart of the house: a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace framed by built-in bookcases, windows full of lake views, & doors opening onto a deck that’s part covered, part open sky. The primary suite & breakfast nook also open onto the deck, so your morning coffee goes outside from the nearest door. The large, eat-in kitchen is built for cooks & the company they keep: handsome cabinetry, a copper-topped breakfast bar, a gas range w/double oven, & a second built-in oven. Beside the living room, a formal dining room with wood pillars & windows looks into the trees. The primary suite looks straight out over the lake through a large picture window. It includes 2 walk-in closets, its own door to the deck, & a bathroom w/large tub, separate shower, double vanity, & private toilet. The den includes a built-in bookcase, desk, & large under-window storage bench. A perfect spot to quietly work, read, or disappear for the afternoon. A discreet powder room serves guests. On the far side of the kitchen, two more bedrooms share a bath. Each has a walk-in closet & one has a lake view through picture window. The main-floor laundry, w/generous built-ins & utility sink, sits off the garage entry. Above the deep 2-car garage, a bonus room is ready for guests, media, a separate office, or hobby room. Crown moulding, built-ins, & vaulted & tray ceilings add warmth, while natural light & lake views fill much of the house. Outside, the lot is deep & private, with a sandy beach made for bonfires, majestic pines, an apple tree, thimbleberry bushes, lilacs, hydrangeas, rhododendrons, & azaleas. The shoreline holds a piece of Houghton history: the remnants of James R. Dee's boathouse, the businessman who brought telephone & electric service to the Copper Country & whose name lives on at Dee Stadium. Those remnants may offer potential for a future boathouse or dock, subject to permitting & buyer obtained required approvals. The house has convenient access to the rec trail paralleling Portage Lake in both directions. Downtown Houghton, Nara Nature Park, local cross-country ski trails, & Portage Lake Golf Course are nearby & you're 2+/- miles from Michigan Tech.
