About This Home

There is so much to do in Northern Michigan and this home is perfectly located for every Northern Michigan adventure. With a beautiful 3-season view of Upper Herring Lake, this 3 bed/2 bath quaint ranch is ready for new owners to make their own and is just minutes from downtown Frankfort, Elberta, and Lake Michigan. The property is home to a variety of trees that help ensure privacy even during the winter months. Remove some of those trees from the nearly SIX acres to gain a fuller view of the lake during summer months. Enjoy looking out at Upper Herring Lake while sipping a cup of coffee, eating lunch, or reading a book. Walk just down the road to the public boat launch to go fishing or hike the trail at the nearby nature preserve. Enjoy a tubing voyage down the nearby Platte River soaking up the sun while leisurely floating to Lake Michigan. Plan a day visiting Frankfort, Beulah, Crystal Mountain, or one of many public beaches on Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake, or one of the many other smaller lakes. Three bedrooms and one bath transition into the main level living room and dining room that offer that beautiful view of Upper Herring Lake. The cozy downstairs family room provides a space to relax, while the kitchenette and workshop room are ready to be used for a variety of projects. The lower level bathroom has potential to be expanded/renovated. The lower level also has plenty of storage room and a wood boiler that can be utilized if needed for back-up heating. The large detached 2-car garage provides storage for all of the "Up North" necessities. This is a property you need to visit to truly appreciate it. Don't miss your chance to own it.
