In the previous blog, I showed 10 houses we saw, now I will finish that day with 6 more. This house has 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, and is 1,900 sq ft.. |
The driveway is share by 3 or 4 houses to the right of it. There is an alley that continues behind the house to the other houses. The owners of this home have it neat as a pin inside and out. |
There is a busy road between the house and the lake. |
The lake shore bottom is sand and rocks. |
Next we drove to the west side of the south arm of Lake Charlevoix. As we drove in, I thought, " Oh this is going to be good" ( in the negative way). This is one Joe picked out to see. |
Parking sits up higher then the house. There is no garage with this house, just a large shed. This is the back of the house and does not inspire. |
View of the house from the lakeside. (much better). The house has 5 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms and 2,300 sq ft of living space. It was built in 1970 and the decor reflects that era. |
The south arm of Lake Charlevoix is narrow, but you can get to the main body of Lake Charlevoix from this arm of the lake. The property has a permanent dock which Joe likes a lot. |
This house was south of the previous one. We had to travel about a mile on gravel to get to it. Joe didn't like it for that reason. |
It had a very large and nice 3 season porch facing the lake. I loved this porch. |
The house has an old log cabin feel which I didn't think I would like, but I am starting to warm to. |
The lake shore was sand with some rocks, |
but the deep water dropped off quickly. |
To get to the water, you need to walk a distance through a wet land area. In the wet land areas you can cut trees down, but you must leave stumps and any ground cover that is there presently. |
Next we drove north of the south arm just to were the main body of Lake Charelvoix starts on the west side. This property had a large sunny lot with a very large 2 car garage. |
It has 2 very large bedrooms, 2 baths, and has 1,559 sq ft. It is priced at $269,500. This is also a possibility. |
It sits across a dead end road to the lake. |
You get a boat dock that you share with others in the neighborhood. |
It has a nice 3 season porch which you know I like. |
Not as big as the one in previous house, but adequate. |
The lake shore bottom is rocky. |
The last house was further north of the last house. Our realtor informed us that there had been a problem recently with the front porch, but he could still show it. |
Mark our realtor got the key, but then didn't know how to get to the door to put the key in the door lock. Again I told him to forget it, it was not worth anyone getting hurt. |
We walked out to the back and saw that the back yard was another wet land area. |
Looking back toward the house. |
