Property Description
Experience the rare opportunity to own a piece of local history with this charming two-bedroom, one-bathroom ranch cottage, held by the same family for over 75 years. Situated on one of the largest parcels on the water, this property boasts an impressive 259 feet of pristine frontage on the highly sought-after Elk Lake. Whether you are looking for a peaceful retreat or an active lifestyle, this all-sports lake offers the perfect backdrop for premier swimming, boating, and some of the finest fishing in the region. Located close to many fine golf courses, popular local eateries, and 15 minutes from West Branch for shopping. The home itself seamlessly blends nostalgic character with modern peace of mind. Throughout much of the interior, the original woodwork has been meticulously preserved, lending an air of warmth and craftsmanship that is rarely found in contemporary builds. Large windows frame spectacular, unobstructed views of the water, ensuring that the beauty of the lake is always the focal point of your living space. Significant mechanical updates have been completed to ensure year-round comfort and reliability, including a newer furnace, central air conditioning, and a private well. For added security, the property is equipped with a whole-house Generac generator. Beyond the main residence, the expansive grounds feature a 24 x 32 pole building finished with power, providing ample space for a workshop, boat storage, or vehicle housing. This is more than just a home; it is a legacy estate offering unmatched privacy and potential on the shores of Elk Lake.
