    What's special

    Welcome to easy lakefront living on beautiful all-sports Belleville Lake. With more than 100 feet of private waterfront frontage, this move-in-ready brick ranch offers the perfect blend of simplicity, comfort, and year-round recreation. Whether you're looking to downsize, embrace a more carefree lifestyle, or finally make waterfront living a reality, this home delivers. Designed for convenient single-story living, this home features three bedrooms, one and a half baths, and thoughtful updates throughout. The renovated kitchen is the heart of the home, showcasing granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and breathtaking panoramic lake views that make everyday meals feel special. Updated mechanicals, a brand-new roof and chimney cap (2026), and low-maintenance brick construction provide peace of mind and allow you to spend more time enjoying the lake. Outdoor living takes center stage with multiple spaces to relax, entertain, and soak in the waterfront setting. Enjoy morning coffee on the spacious back deck, host gatherings on the expansive lakeside deck, unwind on the terraced lawn leading to the water, or take in spectacular sunset views from the rooftop deck. Additional boat storage makes it easy to enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and all the recreation Belleville Lake has to offer. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from downtown Belleville, local restaurants, parks, and I-94, this waterfront home combines the tranquility of lake life with everyday convenience. Rarely does a property offer this much frontage, this much outdoor living space, and such an easy-to-maintain footprint. If you've been dreaming of a simpler lifestyle without sacrificing views, recreation, or location, this Belleville Lake waterfront home is your opportunity to live where others vacation. Welcome to the lake!
