Vintage cottage with Lake Michigan only about 4 cottages away to enjoy a beautiful beach in the gated Macatawa Hills area near Sanctuary Woods preserve, Eldean's Marina, the Macatawa Bay Yacht Club, boat launch & tennis courts. You will love this renovated year-round cottage (turn key) with beautiful hardwood floors, bead board & it can be purchased furnished/turn key with a few exceptions so you can start enjoying the lake today. Lake Michigan views, access, a large patio with newer Frontgate heavy duty furniture is where owners like to spend evenings. A large fabulous elevated screened porch is their morning hangout where great breezes pass through. Current owners have spent many a day with 13 family members all sharing in the great space this cottage has to offer. Another full bath could badded in the lower level easily in the laundry room where there's already a 3rd shower. There's room to squeeze in 10 cars between the 1-stall garage and the driveway (a rarity to have this kind of parking in this area). Fenced in yard for kids or dogs & a park-like lot across the street add to the appeal. Take a walk down Valley Ave to the beach where there is a large association deck & a spiral slide to the beach. Upper porches could be additional outdoor space to enjoy on two sides of the home. Great bunk room with 6 bunks & 2 generous bedrooms with good closet space upstairs. A main floor bedroom is a plus. City sewer. Good well water (softener is not in use). Pella windows. Golf cart negotiable. Possibility of adding more garage space. Very large lot for this area. New roof spring of 2018 (stripped off old shingles). Washer and dryer new in 2016. Current owners took out drop ceilings and restored headboard ceilings on main floor and refinished hardwood floors. Newer composite stairs to the screened porch/entry. Newer furniture & window treatments. Large dining area and two great living rooms on the main floor. Newer stainless steel dishwasher & newer refrigerator. Large kitchen has plenty of cupboards and a prep sink. 2nd refrigerator in the lower level. Beautiful brick fireplace (with potential to put a gas grill back in where there is now a TV) on the east side living room. Supplementary heater and a mini frig in that large room as well. 1 year old outdoor grill. Sellers explored sucking out sand from walkout lower level crawl space and creating more finished living area. Very level, sound cottage for being one of the original cottages in this historic lake side community. Road repair coming to the cottage should be done soon. Annual dues about $1,100 expected for 2019 to help bolster funds to repair road and includes plowing of private roads, gate maintenance, deck by the beach, and garbage. A great place for families & community get-togethers and to make beautiful memories in this lakeside resort community. Taxes would be lower if homesteading. Believe washer & dryer were new in 2014/2015. All furnishings, included.
