Property Description

This solid one-story home offers deeded lake access to beautiful Gourdneck Lake and offers endless potential to make this home your own. This well-built ranch home features comfortable main floor living with 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The large living room is filled with natural light and offers hardwood floors hidden beneath the carpet. The convenient kitchen includes a gas oven and opens to the dining area with sliders leading to a charming screened porch with cathedral ceilings, the perfect spot to enjoy peaceful mornings or summer evenings. Step outside to a private backyard complete with a paver patio, mature landscaping, and storage shed. The finished lower level adds extra living space with a cozy gas fireplace, knotty pine walls, and room for entertaining, hobbies, or an office. An attached two-stall garage plus an additional garden potting shed provide excellent storage and workspace options.

Gourdneck Lake sits between the City of Portage and Schoolcraft Township in southern Kalamazoo County, just southwest of the main Portage. The lake is known for excellent wildlife viewing, fishing largemouth bass, bluegill, and crappie. The lake feels secluded and wooded while still being only minutes from places like Portage Creek Bicentennial Trail and Prairie View Park. There are a limited number of dock slips available through the voluntary association. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, golf courses, and easy access to both Kalamazoo and Portage amenities, this home is a wonderful opportunity for buyers looking for space, lake access, and the chance to build equity in a desirable location.
