Nature-Lover’s Retreat with Canal Access to Greens Lake – Beautifully Updated 3 Bed, 2.5 Bath in Clarkston Schools! Nestled on a quiet canal with small-boat access to Greens Lake—and beyond to Lester and Van Norman Lakes—this spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the perfect blend of peaceful nature and thoughtful modern living. The home’s open layout offers the ideal balance of connectedness and separation between spaces. At its heart is a beautifully updated kitchen with granite countertops, a large pantry, newer stainless appliances, and a sink that overlooks the stunning backyard, view of woods, and canal. Just off the dining area, a spacious deck invites you to dine or relax outdoors with views of nature in every direction. Upstairs, both bathrooms have been fully updated with new vanities, toilets, and fixtures. The primary bedroom includes a newly renovated ensuite, while the lower-level bathroom offers ample space to add a shower or tub. The lower level features a large family room perfect for entertaining or setting up an office, as well as a small wet bar. Step outside to a backyard oasis with native plantings, including several varieties of milkweed to support the butterfly and wildlife ecosystem. The backyard is truly another living space, with a gentle hill perfect for a summer slip-and-slide and daily visits from birds, deer, and more. 2022 UPDATES: New well pump, high-quality carpet & ALL windows replaced, tri-locking doorway & addition of bay window. Kinetico specialty water treatment w/iron removal, softener, pressure tank. 2023 UPDATES: Exterior of the home was washed/sealed/painted, stairs added to the deck, new molding, including windows framed in the lower living room, new sump pump. 2025 UPDATES: New line from well pump to house, new HWH.
