About this home

Single-level living with room to build, a short walk from the water, and a nature preserve directly across the street. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offers roughly 1,500 square feet on a 0.3-acre lot — level ground with space for a large pole barn, a workshop, or a garden, depending on what the next owner has in mind. Inside, the home has been thoroughly updated, with all-new mechanicals installed within the past two years and a roof that is about 10 years old. The work is done, so the focus can stay on settling in rather than fixing up. The setting is what sets it apart. Lake Manitou, a 775-acre all-sport lake, is a stone's throw away, with fishing, boating, water skiing, and public access points nearby. Directly across the street, the Judy Burton Nature Preserve spans 130 acres of trails and wildlife habitat — herons, ducks, and deer are common visitors — and the Nickel Plate Trail connects for walking and biking. Whether it is a first home, a right-sized downsizer, or a basecamp for someone who would rather be outdoors, this property delivers single-level living, fresh systems, and land with options.
