Completely renovated and move-in ready, this 2-story lakefront cottage offers the perfect blend of comfort and style. Located on Houghton Lake's peaceful North East Bay, you'll be close to parks and just down the road from local favorite Spikehorn Restaurant. The property includes a lakefront lot plus a second lot directly behind it, where you'll find a newly built 28' x 30' garage with 10-foot walls for parking and extra storage. Inside, you'll love the updated kitchen with solid surface countertops, updated bathrooms, and a stunning stone fireplace—perfect for crisp fall mornings. The home features two spacious living areas, both with lake views, and the upstairs family room is large enough for extra sleeping space or a cozy lounge area. Step outside to a composite deck overlooking the water or take in the view from the upstairs composite balcony. Perfectly situated between Houghton and Higgins Lakes, you can enjoy the best of both. With all the major updates already complete, all that's left is to move in and start making memories.
