Tucked beneath the trees and surrounded by the lifestyle that makes Indian Lakes so special, this inviting retreat offers the perfect blend of lake living, privacy, and everyday comfort. Set on over an acre in the sought-after Indian Lakes community, the home is just a short walk from access to the 250+ acre all-sports Indian Lake, known for boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking, and year-round recreation. Inside, the home welcomes you with a warm and comfortable layout highlighted by a dramatic stone fireplace, vaulted living space, and peaceful wooded views. The spacious back deck creates an ideal setting for summer evenings, entertaining friends after a day on the water, or simply enjoying the quiet surroundings. The flexible multi-level floorplan offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, generous living areas, and a partially finished bonus room perfect for a recreation space, office, fitness room, or overflow guests. The Indian Lakes community has become increasingly desirable for buyers seeking an "up north" feel without sacrificing convenience -- offering private lake access, parks, walking trails, and a strong sense of community all within commuting distance to Grand Rapids and Rockford. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or a place to fully embrace Michigan lake life, this property delivers the kind of setting buyers are searching for right now -- peaceful, recreational, wooded, and connected to the water. All water filtration systems are brand new. Any discoloration in the sinks or showers is from before the replacement. The current owners replaced the tanks, drained and cleaned the hot water heater, and installed full-home filtration systems. The home did not previously have that level of filtration in place.
