Get the “Up North” feel on this canal-front home on the all-sport Townsend Lake! With more than 100 feet of frontage and just a quick troll to the 28 acre main lake that features a north and east coast that remains virtually untouched, owned by the Oakland County Sportsmen Club, warm summer days will be protected by minimal boating activity and the serenity remains intact. Walk into the home and fall in love with the thoughtfulness and care poured into it. The open first floor features a coffered ceiling, a recently updated kitchen with Aristokraft shaker cabinets, granite countertops and GE Profile appliances. The large island has a built-in stovetop and vented hood fan for the lake-day feasts with a double oven that offers the always-all-to-important extra oven space. Make your way down to the lower level, where you’ll find the cozy living room inundated with great light during the day and shifts focus to the cozy hide-a-way with the gas fireplace showcased at night. The three freshly-painted bedrooms are on the upper level, with the primary giving you great views of your private backyard oasis. A backyard that features a large deck partially covered by a pergola overlooking the canal, with a very easy, minimal grade path to the floating dock that can house your watersports toys. An added convenience is the shed that sits waterside, which can house your lawn equipment and the essentials for boating days. The seawall on the property was installed about three years ago, protecting the shoreline. The house features Hardie Plank siding, a roof that is about nine years old, a ten year old furnace and a water heater replaced just last year. This home is low-maintenance so you can spend your time on the lake this summer!
