A beautiful home on the east shore of Beaver Island just south of Sand Bay between Point LaPar and Martin’s Point. This house sits on a flat hardwoods with hemlock and pine mixed in plateau just about 12 feet above the shoreline. It has 209 feet of sandy beach frontage. This is a good swimming beach with the sand bottom that’s in the water out front.
The house is placed on the “mini-bluff” a little over 100 feet back from the water’s edge. There is an easy walking path set of steps from the edge of the front deck down to the flat area where the beach starts. The house faces east so you can see boat traffic headed north toward Beaver Harbor and watch sunrises and moonrises year-round.
There is 1284 sq. ft. of inside, finished floor area with an additional 162 sq. ft. screened-in porch with storm windows for three seasons’ use. The house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The dining room, living room, and kitchen area are all combined in one large room with the kitchen separated by an island countertop on the living room side. The dining area is on the water side of the living room. In the south end of the house there is the three-season porch just left of the dining room table plus a utility room, a storage area, a kitchen pantry area, a wood storage area, and an outside door to the deck to bring wood in. There are electric baseboard heating units throughout the house, but these have only been used as a backup heating system or turned on when the occupants have been away from the house for winter vacations.
The house can be comfortably heated house. The original owners of the home heated completely with wood and only used an average of eight face cords of wood per winter.
Other features of the house are: A fieldstone fireplace in the living room with a shipwreck wood mantle, thermos-pane Anderson windows throughout the house, there’s a lot of glass on the lake side including a sliding glass door out onto the lakeside deck, a large crawl space/storage area under the house, and an attic storage area accessible via a ceiling pull-down set of stairs. Decks are on three sides of the house, built-in dishwasher, open-air wood storage shed, and a wide, gently sloped area for taking boats down to the beach from the south side of the lot. This is the perfect lakefront home for either summer residents or retirees. It’s in a secluded location, but on a County road that is plowed daily in the wintertime, just six miles from the airport and a fast, easy eight-mile drive to the town of St. James. It is very close to a lot of State land across the East Side Drive from this site with walking trails for birders or nature enthusiasts. The raw land value is right now about $1,200 a front foot for a total of $250,800 of beach. This house is therefore really priced to sell at only $355,000.
