A sandy beach and room to expand on the Inland Waterway? Yes please! This Pickerel Lake home pairs 107 feet of unmatched sandy shoreline, deep frontage and dock for effortless summer days with a back buildable lot and large pole building that add rare, year-round flexibility. Whether you envision a guest house, extra storage, or another retreat, it’s ready to adapt to your plans. Multiple outdoor spaces - including a deck off the sunroom, covered patios, walkways, and a cozy swing on one of the backyard patios - offer inviting spots to take in the view, whether you’re reading in the shade, hosting a barbecue, or enjoying a quiet lakeside morning coffee. The main home is warm and welcoming, with lake views from multiple rooms. The kitchen’s island encourages conversation and adds extra storage, while the gas range makes cooking a joy. A sunroom connects to the back deck and patio for easy indoor-outdoor living. With two bedrooms on the first floor, two more upstairs (including a suite with walk-in closet and attached bath), and inviting gathering areas, there’s space for everyone to relax. A separate building functions as a flexible “laundry house,” complete with a bathroom for changing after a swim, storage for towels and gear, an outdoor shower, fridge, and ice maker - keeping the lake day energy flowing without tracking water into the main home. The one-car garage adds more storage for beach gear, boats, and life on the water. Set far from major roads yet just minutes from Petoskey, this property offers rare tranquility while still being part of a great neighborhood along a charming dirt road. From the colors of fall to the quiet of winter by the fireplace, this is a place to enjoy in every season. This is it if you’re seeking a private lakefront lifestyle with peace, flexibility, and space to make it your own.
