Property Description

Affordable, beautifully maintained, and ready to enjoy year-round! This charming waterfront home offers 50' of sandy Portage Lake frontage in Chassell, combining comfortable living with everything you need to embrace the lake lifestyle. A concrete driveway leads to the detached 2-car garage, while sidewalks and a convenient access ramp welcome you home. Offering approximately 1,576 finished sq. ft., this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home welcomes you through a spacious entry before opening into the kitchen and dining area. The galley-style kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, a bow window, and a built-in desk. Just a few steps down, the inviting family room showcases soaring tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings, a wall of windows overlooking the lake, a cozy gas fireplace, and direct access to the expansive maintenance-free deck with built-in seating. The main floor also includes a bedroom with a half bath and laundry area. Down the hall are two additional bedrooms and an updated full bath with a low-threshold shower, solid surface vanity top, and a beautifully hand-painted vessel sink. The home has been heated year-round, but vacant for two years. The shoreline is where this property truly shines! Unwind in the authentic lakeside sauna featuring cedar walls, a wood-burning stove, hot water shower, and changing area. Imagine stepping from the warmth of the sauna into the refreshing waters of Portage Lake—an experience you'll never tire of! The adjoining storage room is perfect for kayaks, fishing gear, and water toys. Spend your days fishing from the included aluminum dock, kayaking, floating, swimming, or gathering around the campfire. Start your mornings with a cup of coffee on the dock while watching the sunrise shimmer across the waters of Portage Lake, and end your evenings relaxing by the fire as the stars fill the sky. Natural seaweed is present along portions of the shoreline due to limited use. Located just minutes from Michigan Tech, waterfalls, hiking and biking trails, fall color tours, snowmobile trails, skiing, and snowshoeing, this home offers four-season recreation in every direction. Whether you're searching for a year-round residence or a weekend getaway, this waterfront gem is ready to become the place where lifelong memories, family traditions, and unforgettable lake days are made. Note: Water in the basement is typical for the area, as the basement is located below lake level. The seller reports that this has not caused any problems during their ownership. The seller routinely ensures the sump pump is operational, and it has functioned as intended to manage the water. A quote from Northland Basement Systems is available for additional basement improvements.
