Description
This thoughtfully designed lakefront home sits above Beaufort Lake in Michigan's stunning Upper Peninsula. It offers panoramic water views from the ridge and a gentle, accessible slope to the shoreline. Designed for year round enjoyment, the home features an expansive wraparound deck, dock, fire pit, and an oversized two car garage with plenty of room for recreational gear and toys. The asking price includes almost everything you see on the property inside and out - furnishings, decor, boats, dock, and more. Although the home is listed as a 2 bedroom, over 2,000 square feet of finished space make it much larger than you might expect. The finished area in the basement is just missing a door and a wardrobe to reach bedroom status. The additional 600 square feet of unfinished basement space is also prime for finishing into a bedroom if you desire. Finally, the current owners use a room upstairs that isn't quite large enough to count as a bedroom, but it works perfectly as a bunk room for kids. If group gatherings and entertaining are important to you, this home can easily be laid out to sleep 12 or more. With a full bathroom and communal space on every floor your guests will be comfortable and relaxed during their visits. The main level includes an open layout centered around a spacious kitchen with hickory cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a newer induction range oven. The living room features a wood burning fireplace and vaulted ceilings framed by large Andersen windows that capture the lake view. A full bathroom, laundry, roomy entryway, and primary bedroom with a cedar lined walk-in closet complete the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find a bright reading nook in the loft, a second bedroom, a kids room, a full bathroom, and a sitting area.. The finished walkout basement adds even more usable space including a brand new full bathroom with custom wood work that was added on to the existing sauna in 2023. For a list of all the updates the owners have made since 2020, please see the list of upgrades in the associated documents section of this listing. Located on the quieter side of Beaufort Lake, the sellers report minimal boat traffic, active loons, and great fishing right off the dock. The lake warms quickly in summer for swimming and paddling, and freezes early in winter, making it ideal for snowshoeing and ice fishing. On clear nights, enjoy stargazing and vibrant views of the Milky Way. Beaufort Lake spans over 400 acres with plenty of shoreline to explore. The property is just five minutes from Michigamme Market and about 40 minutes from Marquette. Nearby outdoor destinations include Lake George, Ruth Lake, Craig Lake State Park, and the McCormick Wilderness Tract, some of the U.P.'s best spots for hiking, paddling, and solitude. Whether used as a year round home, short term rental, or a seasonal getaway, this property offers space, privacy, and direct access to the natural beauty of the Upper Peninsula.
