Enjoy the best of lake living without the waterfront taxes! This unique custom-built, year-round home offers approximately 2,200 square feet of living space on a beautiful 2-acre parcel adjacent to the public boat launch on Johnson Lake, providing convenient access to boating, fishing, and year-round recreation. A spacious breezeway connects the home to the oversized garage, added in 2013, offering ample room for vehicles, recreational equipment, a workshop, and storage. Above the garage, an expansive attic storage area with large loft doors provides easy access for larger items and seasonal belongings. Inside, a bright foyer welcomes you with natural light and generous coat storage. Just off the entryway is a main-level bedroom featuring large closets, its own laundry area, and an adjoining sitting room or craft room. A full bathroom with a tub/shower combination is conveniently located nearby. The spacious dining area flows into a beautifully designed kitchen featuring Corian countertops, custom cabinetry, and abundant storage. A large window above the sink overlooks the peaceful yard and surrounding property. The comfortable living room offers views of Johnson Lake and direct access to the expansive front deck stretching across the entire front of the home. With plenty of room for outdoor furniture, it's the perfect place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the scenery. Upstairs, you'll find one of the home's most distinctive features—an expansive loft-style bunk room with multiple sleeping areas and built-in loft spaces, ideal for family gatherings, guests, or a recreation area. A cozy sitting room provides the perfect reading nook or quiet retreat. The spacious primary suite features a thoughtfully designed custom bed alcove with built-in lighting, shelving, and under-bed storage. Vaulted ceilings create an open feel, while generous closet space on both sides of the room adds functionality. The beautiful arched window fills the room with natural light and offers picturesque views toward Johnson Lake. An upper-level bathroom features a walk-in shower, updated vanity, ample storage, and a full-wall closet. Outside, the property continues to impress with a large yard, greenhouse, and two additional storage buildings. One outbuilding also serves as a workshop and boat storage area. Surrounded by mature trees and open yard space, the property offers a peaceful setting with plenty of room to enjoy nature, gardening, and outdoor activities. With year-round access, beautiful lake views, exceptional storage, and convenient access to Johnson Lake, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of Upper Peninsula living.
