## Description

### Agent Description
Start making lifelong memories in the Northwoods with this east-facing, year-round Grave Lake property. The meticulously maintained home is tucked away among towering pines, overlooking a large backyard with gentle elevation down to the hard sand frontage. This property offers the quintessential “Up North” look and feel. Perfect for hosting friends and family, the home features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an additional flex-room, designated parking with power for an RV, and a beautifully finished bunkhouse in the detached garage. Enjoy al fresco dining on the freshly landscaped terrace, while the breeze whispers through the pines, or relax on the pristine shoreline. A long list of recent updates includes over $80,000 in professional landscaping, including new riprap, fire pit, and patio. Bring the toys, one stall of garage, and a shed for extra storage. Whether you're seeking a weekend escape or a year-round residence, this Grave Lake property is ready to be enjoyed from day one.
