This property presents an exceptional fusion of contemporary design and classic log cabin architecture, set on approximately 100 feet of Portage Lake waterfront at Half Moon Beach–Chassell Bay, just 9+/- miles from Houghton and Michigan Tech University.

The kitchen seamlessly connects to a modern addition, offering abundant natural light and picturesque water views. The flexible open floor plan is ideal for living and dining arrangements, facilitating both relaxation and entertaining. Additional main level amenities include a formal living room with a white marble fireplace, office, foyer, three-quarter bath, sunroom, and laundry area. A curved, open staircase leads to the upper level, where the primary bedroom suite boasts a full bath, supplemental vanity, and spacious closet. The second bedroom includes a half bath, while the third shares a full bathroom; two bedrooms provide direct balcony access with tranquil lake vistas. Some of the notable finishes throughout the home consist of granite countertops, solid cherry flooring bordered with Birdseye maple and walnut, crown and picture molding, and extensive water views.

Positioned near the road is a detached 2+ car garage (constructed in 2019) with workshop potential and loft storage, complemented by a tandem two-car garage, garden shed, and additional storage building for recreational equipment. The owners have meticulously maintained the residence, including restoration and sealing of logs and exterior paint on the addition in 2019. The property is located on a quiet street with direct access to the trail from Chassell to Houghton.
