Northern Great Lakes REALTORS® MLS (NGLRMLS)
Property Description
Set along 44 feet of private Crystal Lake frontage, this beautifully maintained home blends the warmth and character of a classic lake retreat with the comfort and convenience of modern improvements. Sandy shoreline, sunset views, and a setting that puts some of Northern Michigan's most sought-after destinations within easy reach create a place equally suited for summer memories or year-round enjoyment. Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan, Crystal Downs Country Club, Platte Lake, and downtown Beulah are all nearby. Since 2015, the home has undergone a series of carefully executed improvements, including updated plumbing and wiring, insulated windows and doors, mini-splits for heating and cooling, new flooring, paint, lighting, solid wood interior doors, and a complete kitchen renovation featuring quartz countertops, new cabinetry, open shelving, and upgraded appliances. A new deck, awning, and Amish-built beach shed complete the work, leaving little for the next owner to do except enjoy the lake. The dramatic great room is highlighted by soaring beamed ceilings and a wall of glass overlooking Crystal Lake. Sliding doors open to a spacious upper deck, creating an easy transition between indoor and outdoor living. The upper level includes a beautifully updated kitchen, living room, primary bedroom, and full bath. The walk-out level offers an additional bedroom, half bath, and a family room that easily accommodates guests as an additional sleeping area. Outside, the private dock, sandy beach, and sandy lake bottom provide excellent swimming and watersports opportunities. Natural gas, high-speed internet, and furnishings available separately add to the property's appeal. Currently used as a successful short-term rental, this property offers the flexibility to continue as an investment, enjoy as a year-round residence, or use as a Northern Michigan getaway.
