About This Home

As of August 2017

LOCATION-LOCATION-LOCATION! This quaint cottage in the woods is located between Crystal Lake (within about 1/2 mile) and Lake Michigan (within 1/2 mile in the other direction), very near the town of Frankfort, the Congregational Assembly, the Crystal Downs Country Club and the Crystal Lake Yacht Club. It's very livable, with a beautiful brick wood burning fireplace, and the parcel is expansive: it's 1.5 lots, for a total of about .44 Acres, so there's plenty of room to expand the cottage and/or build a second structure. The very functional kitchen and full bath were completely upgraded in 2015, and the electrical system was also upgraded then. Prep work has been initiated to install a bath on the upper level, and there's a convenient 12 x 15 Storage Shed on the property. Cozily situated in the soothing forest, which is heavily populated with both hardwoods and evergreens, the Sellers are very interested in considering serious offers. THIS VERY WELL LOCATED PROPERTY BETWEEN LAKE MICHIGAN AND CRYSTAL LAKE IS AN OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR UP NORTH DREAM HOME IN PURE MICHIGAN - please contact the listing agent for more information!
