    What's special

    This is the location on the Portage Lake that many dream of! With panoramic views of The Portage Canal you'll get beautiful sunrises, views of the northern lights and will be able to have a cup of coffee watching The Ranger III go by on its way to Isle Royale ! The location is ideal with Houghton less than 10 minutes away. Or get on your boat and go either way. Just a short boat ride to Lake Superior to the west or go East to the Portage Lake Lift Bridge. The sellers have gone through this property that was built in the 80's and given it a fresh look for 2024! The updates include new flooring throughout, new lighting, remodeled bathrooms, a new half bath and completely renovated kitchen with new Samsung appliances, new kitchen cabinets and granite counter-tops. The drywall has been freshly painted throughout but the classic tongue and groove paneling has been left untouched. With 3 levels of living space there is plenty of room for a large family with lots of room left over for guests. The main floor is ideal for entertaining with a wide open layout that includes the living room, dining area and kitchen that has an over sized granite counter top. The second floor has two bedrooms (one of them currently being used as a home office) with a 3/4 bath in between. The lower level also has two bedrooms, a walkout basement, and a newly added half bath. The waterfront property is unbelievable and includes a pier with an 80' permanent dock that is built to last! And there is also your very own boat launch. Bring out your fishing boat and get ready to get some giant Northerns in Oscar Bay! The property and location is surprisingly quiet and has a private feel. There is also an over sized two car garage that has an insulated work shop in the rear. Property is located close enough to Houghton, in Stanton Township, but far enough away from city taxes!
