CHARMING FOUR-SEASON COTTAGE-STYLE HOME ON PORTAGE LAKE! Cozy and full of character, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home sits on a beautiful waterfront lot with approximately 100 feet of frontage and is located near Lake Superior access. Enjoy direct water views from the newly reconstructed enclosed lakeside porch, now usable year-round with a heat duct and new windows, or relax on the spacious new lakeside deck. The floor plan includes a living room, eat-in kitchen, and laundry area in the bathroom. Wood floors and original woodwork add warmth and charm throughout. Set back from the road with a wooded buffer for privacy, the home also offers a deep lakeside yard with plenty of room for yard games and outdoor enjoyment. Two storage sheds are included—one near the home that works well for storage or workshop use, and another near the road. Extensive improvements completed in 2025–26 include reconstruction of the enclosed porch, added block foundation and steel beams, lakeside deck, water heater, well pump, added insulation, and major yardwork, including added topsoil and regrading toward the lake. The property is approximately 8.5+/- miles from Houghton. Located in Stanton Township! Furnishings may be available separately. ----- NOTICE: Information is believed accurate but not guaranteed.
