Great potential, with a little work, for a weekend get-away with private Pokagon Beach Assoc. swimming access and possible boat dock on beautiful Paw Paw Lake. The Association has 500 feet of prime water frontage with removable piers for boat docking, a jet ski area and sandy beach. Owner must make application to the association for docking space. The living room, 2 main floor bedrooms and family room walls have all been recently painted. Main floor bedrooms and living room have hard wood floors. Upper level bedrooms are generous with sloping side walls and lots of perimeter storage. The bedrooms upstairs are heated via gravity and one is open to the staircase, but could be easily closed off for privacy. Nice lot with easy access to the lake, corner grocery, gas station, public Paw Paw Lake Golf Course, downtown Watervliet, the heart of the fruit belt and so much more. Come and take a look.
