About This Home

As of July 2020

NOT A DRIVE BY! Great opportunity to own waterfront at Upper Silver Lake and also enjoy all that the area has to offer including Silver Lake, 2 state parks, the ORV area of the dunes, etc. This cottage has been owned and loved by the same family since it was built in the '80's. The cottage had a major addition and update about 10 years ago allowing for a laundry room, 2nd bath, 3 roomy bedrooms, and an open concept kitchen/living area. The expansive deck allows plenty of room for relaxing and entertaining with full view of lake activity and amazing sunsets. Short boat trip to Baker island for picnic or nature walk. Furnishings and pontoon boat negotiable except for bar in great room which will be removed.
