Thinking about what to do after retirement? Purchase this property now at today's prices and use rental income to offset most of the taxes, insurance and utilities until you are ready to retire. Rare opportunity on Lower Herring Lake! Homes like this do not come up for sale often, so don¢â‚¬â„¢t miss your chance. This unique property features 100 feet of direct water frontage on Lower Herring Lake with access to Lake Michigan, PLUS 428 feet on Herring Creek. During the spring and fall, the family will enjoy watching the steelhead and salmon swim in Herring Creek right from your private deck overlooking the water. To double the fun, they will also enjoy their own private beach on the lake - the best of both worlds. Comfortable, meticulously maintained and practical are the operative words here, with an abundance of windows that bring the views of the river, lake and the natural landscaping to you. Inside the home, the master bedroom features poplar flooring, private bath, walk-in closet, Cherry wood dressing table and a private balcony with views of the waters below. The main level provides a living room with tile flooring with in-floor radiant heat, spacious seating area and a dining area. Off the living room is the open kitchen with plenty of cabinet and counter space. The family room has a fireplace with wood insert and more room for relaxing. Both rooms have sliding glass doors providing access to the large wrap-around deck overlooking both the river and lake. There is one main floor bedroom, main floor bath and another room which could be used as a bedroom, but currently is a sitting area. The 2 car garage features an upper level for storage or this space could be converted into more sleeping area. This is your home to enjoy Pure Michigan - close to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan, world class trout streams, swimming, boating, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, etc....
