This Portage Lakes lakefront home for sale is ideally located on the west-facing Main Chain, offering panoramic sunset views and year-round waterfront living in the City of New Franklin/Manchester Schools. Situated on a level lot, this beautifully updated home features nearly 2,600 square feet of living space with five bedrooms and two and a half baths, including a desirable first-floor primary suite with walk-in closet and private bath, as well as convenient first-floor laundry. The open floor plan is designed to capture the lake at every turn, highlighted by a wall of windows that frame stunning water views and provide the perfect setting for entertaining or watching fireworks from your own home.

Outdoor living is just as impressive, with composite decking and a covered lakeside area, a newer seawall completed in 2016, and an aluminum dock ready for boating, swimming, and all that Portage Lakes waterfront living has to offer. Parking is abundant with a 2.5-car garage built in 2012 and additional parking to accommodate up to ten vehicles. This home was completely remodeled down to the studs between 2011 and 2013, including a dimensional roof with 30-year shingles. Additional updates include a new septic system in 2014, a new well in 2016, dual-zone heating with a high-efficiency furnace and first-floor air conditioning installed in 2018, and a new underground irrigation system added in 2022. Offering an exceptional combination of location, updates, and lifestyle, this is a rare opportunity to experience lakefront living at its best on the Main Chain of Portage Lakes.
