Less than an hour outside of central Detroit sits Turtle Lake. While it doesn’t compare to the grand sizes of America’s Great Lakes, it does hold an unusual home right on the water that could be a lake lover’s dream. The Boathouse at Turtle Lake is a unique opportunity to experience living atop placid waters and amidst almost an acre and a half of greenery. Asking $4.99 million, the boathouse is certainly a worthwhile find for a getaway, an investment, or both.
Built in 1945 right around the peak of Detroit’s car innovations, this home was certainly an environmental retreat away from ‘Motor City.’ Harkening to Central Park’s iconic Boathouse, there is a sort of bygone charm that exudes from the nearly 2,300 square foot property. A welcoming front entrance and walkway open to the home’s interior, which largely gets its character from its vast windows and deep rich wood floors. The boathouse is super cozy, and serves as a great stop for those on a trip to the Great Lakes. With one bedroom and one and a half bathrooms, the home is modest in size but still features ample space for relaxation. After all, who could complain about reading a book out on the dock or simply lounging inside while looking out to the water?
Whether you’re looking for your own retreat or thinking of jumping into the life of hosting an AirBnB, look to Harbor Sotheby’s International Realty for the listing.
