This well maintained home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, attached garage. and a walkout basement. The lot gently slopes down to the sandy beach with aluminum dock. There is also room on the east side of the private drive to add another garage or auxiliary building. Emerson Lake is a private lake (no public access) that offers great swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and other low impact watersports. Or check out the nearby Pere Marquette River in the Manistee National Forest and fish for trout, steelhead and salmon.
