About This Home

As of August 2025

EXTREMELY DESIRABLE LOCATION!! Situated on a quiet street away from the constant traffic of West Houghton Lake Drive, this quaint 2 bedroom, 1 bath home offers the perfect location to start making those family memories. Nestled on Houghton Lake's East shore with 50 ft. of sandy shoreline and 320 ft. of depth, you have plenty of front yard for expansion or an ideal yard for family gatherings and children/pets to play while enjoying the lake. Home has a field stone fireplace that currently has a pellet stove, but could easily be converted back. Central A/C and heat along with a large three seasons room overlooking the water. Enjoy a glass of wine and take in those amazing sunsets from your enclosed 3 seasons room or venture outside to the firepit and share the sunset with your neighbors! Separate shed near the water can hold all your yard tools and water toys or be converted into a waterfront tiki bar! Lots of potential here with a little TLC. Detached 24 x 36 garage also offers a 11 x 24 separate heated workshop for tinkering. Home is currently being emptied out, more pictures to come! This home won't last, call to schedule your tour today!
