A tranquil location and SEVEN acres with a view! This well-built 3 bed/2 bath ranch with a lower level entrance enjoys a partial view of Upper Herring Lake and is just minutes from downtown Frankfort and Lake Michigan. The main level includes three bedrooms, a full bathroom, a kitchen with cherry cabinets. A view of Upper Herring Lake, which is across from the house, can be seen from the main level dining room and living room. And a cup of tea or coffee can be enjoyed from the deck just outside the dining room. The lower level includes a large utility room with extra storage space. The downstairs kitchenette provides a space for extra canning, cooking or entertaining needs. The cozy downstairs family room provides a space to relax, while the workshop room is ready to be used for a variety of projects or as an office. The 3/4 bathroom is petite and functional with potential to be expanded/renovated. The lower level also has a wood boiler that can be utilized if needed. The wooded surroundings and lake view provide a tranquil and private environment and is less than a mile from the public boat launch on Upper Herring Lake, as well as multiple nature preserves. And it is within easy driving distance to Beulah, Frankfort, or Benzonia, as well as multiple public beaches on Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake and other surrounding areas. This home is also just over 12 miles to Crystal Mountain allowing for easy winter and summer activities at the resort. The detached large 2-car garage provides room to store vehicles, as well as a boat, golf cart, or other "Up North" necessities. The well-maintained house is ready for the next owner to enjoy and make their own. Don't miss this chance to make this house your home!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
