About This Home

This is a beautiful, hard to find midcentury home with the best of both worlds: 275' of private Portage Lake frontage and a 14.8-acre lot with a really nice forest. The waterfront parcel is located across the road from the house, giving you direct lake access while keeping the home tucked into a peaceful, wooded setting. You'll love this house if you appreciate natural light! Floor to ceiling glass in the main rooms allows natural light pour in and brings the outside in. The kitchen is well appointed with birch cabinets and granite countertops. The living room has a gas fireplace to cozy up by and offers views of both the water and the backyard, which features numerous mature white pines. A dedicated dining room also enjoys the large floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a warm, open atmosphere. The master bedroom is spacious and includes its own ensuite full bath with a walk-in shower, penny tiling, a heated floor, and a heated towel rack. There's a dedicated office with built-in shelving and a wooded view that makes for a quiet workspace. Off the living room, you'll find a beautiful patio area to enjoy the outdoors. The main level also includes an electric sauna which has shower and sink (not included in bath total) and a laundry room. The basement has an ample amount of storage and closets. Both the garage and the adjacent workshop are heated and insulated. Major updates include new roofs in 2019 and 2024 at a total cost of $70K, along with updated siding. The home was built by Herman Gundlach and designed by W.T. Monberg, an architect out of Chicago, for the philanthropic Rice family. Interior details include redwood, walnut, and teak finishes throughout. One-inch thick slate floors feel solid underfoot and add fantastic character. The property also includes a dock and two sheds; one by the garden area near the house and one on the waterfront side. A small creek runs through the land. You're only five minutes to the outskirts of Houghton, under three miles to Portage Lake Golf Course, and just 3.5 miles to bike and ski trails. Natural gas and cable internet are in place.
