Get your boat, your guests, and head to the lake for a summer of fun! This completely remodeled 3bed/2bath cottage PLUS 1-2 bed/1 bath guest house sits on 90 feet of private frontage on ALL-SPORTS School Section Lake. Just 1 hr from GR and a few minutes from St. Ives Golf Course and all the amenities and fun of Canadian Lakes area (without being in that HOA). Decorated and updated for the best luxury experience down to the new vinyl plank flooring and neutral classic cottage decor. Major remodels in 2016 and 2020 hit almost everything from new drainfield and septic, to roof, mechanicals, and additions that expanded space and created a true primary bedroom with ensuite bath and separate entertainment house. Wrap around decks, new docks, private sandy beach, new patio with firepit, and the guest house with separate kitchenette, full bathroom, indoor storage and elevated lake views that make you linger and never want to go home! This is a true slice of paradise. The guest house features a entertainment porch with game and sitting area, kitchenette with beverage fridges and sink, full bathroom, a bunk room, plus an upper TV living room that could function as a large 5th bedroom or bunk room. The main house features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms including a primary bedroom with ensuite bath. Bedrooms have nice size closets. New laundry room with washer and dryer included. Spacious open kitchen, cozy sitting area with fireplace and the stunning great room with vaulted ceilings and phenomenal lake views. If you've been looking for that dream place on the lake, close enough to GR, fully remodeled to not create a bunch of projects or things you sacrifice and the lifestyle of Michigan summers and lazy fall colors at the cottage - This is the one!
