A very rare opportunity to own a home on Thompson Lake with 189 ft of prime sandy bottom lake frontage. The lot for this home is truly spectacular, situated on a cul de sac on the north end of the bay, with an unobstructed southern exposure of the lake. Many mature pine and oak trees surround this charming and secluded home. You'll feel like you're living up north. Lake views from nearly every room. Decorated in charming lakefront cottage style, with rustic wood burning fireplace (converted to gas, but can go back to wood if you like). 3 bdrms, , 2 baths, 1st floor laundry, hardwoods under carpet throughout 1st floor, 1912 sq ft includes incredibly large primary suite with beautiful views of the lake. Could be converted to a mother-in law suite with its own entrance. Unfinished bonus room on 2nd floor ready for drywall and flooring. Thompson Lake is a 268 acre all sports lake. No DNR boat launch, which is a bonus that significantly reduces boat traffic. The only boat launch is owned by the city of Howell. As a resident, you receive a free pass. Non-residents much purchase a daily pass for $20.00 or annual pass for $40.00. That encourages them to go to other lakes that are free. In addition to restricted access, Thompson Lake has very low housing density compared to other lakes in the area, due to the fact approximately one third of the lake is owned by the City of Howell. That translates into less boat traffic. As a resident, you'll enjoy free access to the beautiful City of Howell park and beach, which includes picnic grounds, pavilions, playgrounds and walking trails. Thompson Lake is dam controlled, which means you don’t have to worry about fluctuating lake levels during unusually wet springs or dry summers. Every other year it's lowered 3 ft in the fall to allow residents to do shoreline cleanup and seawall repair. All this and a home warranty which includes appliances too! Developers take note. Property is potentially splittable with house gone. Bennington pontoon boat and canopy are negotiable.
