Bring your best offer! Seller wants to sell now rather than list for more in the spring. Rare acreage. Exceptional waterfront. Direct Chain of Lakes access. Extensive recent updates. Incredible outdoor living. This exceptional one-owner home sits on a rare and spacious 1.4-acre waterfront property with 162 feet of frontage and direct access to the highly sought-after Portage Chain of Lakes. With plenty of room for all your water toys, you can dock your boat, pontoon, and jet ski along the canal and be cruising onto Portage Lake in less than a minute! Imagine spending your days exploring the Chain of Lakes, fishing on any of the seven connected lakes, or enjoying an afternoon of skiing, tubing, and boating. Back at home, entertain family and friends on the expansive two-tiered deck, complete with a hot tub, or head downstairs to the finished walkout basement featuring a fabulous pool table and wet bar. As the day winds down, take in a beautiful sunset before gathering around the large waterfront fire pit for an unforgettable evening. This lovingly maintained home has seen numerous thoughtful updates in recent years, including a remodeled upstairs primary suite bathroom (2018), hot tub (2019), wood flooring throughout the main level (2020), and a remodeled kitchen (2021) featuring new flooring, counter tops, appliances, and refinished cabinets. Additional improvements include a 12x16 storage shed (2021), new furnace and air conditioner (November 2023), water softener system (2024), new front storm door (2025), new dishwasher (2025), and a brand-new roof installed July 2026. The home offers the flexibility of two primary bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms—one on each floor. Whether you want to keep the kids close by or enjoy a little extra privacy from teenagers, this versatile layout makes it easy to accommodate everyone. Cold Michigan mornings are a little easier with the spacious heated and cooled garage, large enough to comfortably accommodate two large vehicles. No more warming up the car on chilly winter mornings—or starting the air conditioning early on hot summer days! Outside, gardening enthusiasts will love the established landscape filled with plants, shrubs, and flowers, with plenty of room to expand and create your own garden oasis. A front and backyard sprinkler system helps keep the grounds looking their best. Three sheds provide exceptional storage: the 16x12 utility shed offers room for a lawn tractor, mower, four-wheeler, snow blower, and more; the waterfront shed is ideal for boating equipment and water toys; and the rear-yard shed provides convenient storage for gardening tools and supplies. Mature trees provide welcome shade on warm summer days while creating the peaceful, wooded atmosphere that gives the property a wonderful "Up North" feel. A nicely mulched path through the woods provides easy access to the waterfront, whether you're walking down to the water or driving through to launch into your next adventure. This is more than a home—it's a place where summer days are spent on the water, evenings end around the fire, and memories are made year after year. Come experience the waterfront lifestyle you've been waiting for! BATVAI.
