About This Home

As of August 2023

This cozy Lake Home is located on beautiful Eagle Lake, a 200 acre/60-foot deep spring fed all-sports lake in Paw Paw, MI. The cottage faces SE for amazing sunrises, and lovely sunsets from the backyard or bedroom window. The previous owners completely gutted this 1939 cottage in 2016/17 except for the original hardwood floors and newer exterior doors. The open concept w/volume ceiling features a spacious living room, dining area, kitchen (w/granite countertops & all appliances) and spacious bedroom w/custom made pine barn-door slider. This turn key, fully furnished cottage is in ''mint'' condition and the extra deep lot allows for plenty of room for future expansion.
