This charming two-bedroom, one-bath, 1,076-square-foot cottage stands on a .324-acre lot on a private road on the west side of tranquil Birch Lake. The quaint 1940 bungalow has been updated in recent years with new furnace/air conditioner, flooring, roof, windows, deck, cement driveway, and water softener. Inside are a living-dining area with panoramic views; a den with knotty pine panels, a ladder to a cozy loft, and a woodburning stove; a kitchen; a bedroom; another bedroom with laundry; and a bath. The property includes a one-car detached garage with a bonus room upstairs, finished except for drywall; a dock; and a backlot with a private drive to abundant parking. A fishing boat and irrigation pump are negotiable. Birch Lake is a private 300-acre spring-fed, all-sports lake two hours from Chicago and 40 minutes from Notre Dame.
