Welcome to this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home featuring a full walk-out basement and an attached 2-car garage. Built in 2006, this quality-crafted property offers an open-concept main level where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together, framed by spectacular lake views. The main floor also includes two bedrooms, hardwood flooring throughout, and thoughtful handicap-accessible design. The fully finished walk-out basement expands your living space with a large family room, an additional bedroom, and a full bath. The Lake view from the family room is stunning! The utility room has the laundry, furnace, and water heater plus a workshop area. Flooring in the downstairs includes both carpet and linoleum for durability and comfort. Ostrander Lake features a hard sand bottom, making it ideal for swimming, kayaking, fishing, and enjoying your paddle or pontoon boats all summer long. Anglers will appreciate the excellent fishing opportunities which include bass, trout, perch, and more that thrive in this scenic 54.2-acre lake, offering year-round enjoyment for both fly fishing and traditional angling. This home has approx. 300' of lake frontage and almost 2 acres of land which consists of 2 parcels. The one lot is also buildable if you wanted to sell that or build another cottage or home. A guest cottage is also included on the property. While it could use some updating, recent improvements include upgraded electrical service and water run from the house that is ready to be hooked up. With additional finishing work, it could serve as a charming guesthouse or potential Airbnb (buyers should verify township rental guidelines). Designed to maximize lake views and embrace the warmth and comfort of lakefront living, this home is ready for new owners to enjoy. The sellers cherish the property but find that they just don't have the time to enjoy it and want this beautiful retreat available for someone else to love and call home.
