Be sure to come take a much closer look at this custom-built home (1987 p/assr) sitting atop a slight rise overlooking beautiful Lake Michigan just north of Algoma. Whether you are looking for a comfortable vacation-type cottage or a year-around home, this lovely property may just foot the bill. This well-loved one-owner home on 1.7+ acres has so much to offer. You'll loved the expansive open front yard providing separation from the house and Cty Rd S as well the has many mature trees surrounding and inside the lot. There is a fenced garden, potting/storage shed, and huge fire stone-lined firepit nestled under the trees--a wonderful setting to gather and/or just relax and enjoy the nature around you. The warmth of this well-loved, one-owner home is undeniable. From the rustic "cottage-like" tongue and groove walls and ceilings (all hand-stained and varnished with love) to the handsome fieldstone wood-burning fireplace, you're sure to feel right at home. Don't forget the cords of firewood stacked out back. You'll be set for a while. A wall of windows faces the lake just to the east and a wrap-around deck brings many scenic views to your door step. There is cozy kitchen (by design) with a professional gas stove (LP). The kitchen could be expanded out into the ample dining area if desired. There are two large bedrooms with lovely views of the back yard and a convenient first floor laundry just a few steps away. For guests, there is a comfortable 24x11 fully finished and heated guest room attached to the 3-car garage. One entrance enters the garage space and an exterior door leads to a lovely patio space. The L-shaped garage has two walk-up staircases to ample storage areas above as well as a 12x18 workshop with multiple workbenches and storage cabinets. This is not one to miss. It's a great place to live just minutes from Door County--but without the Door County price!
