Unobstructed westerly waterfront views, small waterfront access (20+ ft.ESTIMATED) and stunning sunsets—an incredible opportunity to own a Madison Bay cottage at just $250,000. Charming 1930 waterfront cottage set on .91 acres, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers timeless character and exceptional potential. Inside, you’ll find a sunroom, kitchen, and living room thoughtfully positioned to capture the surrounding water views. Multiple waterside decks provide the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining while taking in the expansive bay vistas. Additional highlights include public sewer, a newer roof, and an unfinished attic space offering exciting expansion possibilities. With a small stretch of waterfront that isn’t suited for a pier, the property still invites you to enjoy the water—perfect for launching a kayak and taking in the peaceful surroundings. While the property does require further improvements, it presents a rare opportunity to create your ideal full-time residence, weekend retreat, or income-producing property in a truly special waterfront setting. Being sold strictly as is.
