## Description

### Agent Description
Rare Lake Michigan and Bar Lake Community... Where to start but a fabulous home for year ahead for the next owner. There are 5 bedrooms, 2 baths, dining room' eat-in kitchen, living room and so much more. This home will make a great family home as it has served for many year in the past or make that perfect get away, with great potential for a summer or winter retreat. This home has a huge family room with stone fireplace for those nights to cozy up to a crackling fire and only is only about 600 feet to both Lake Michigan and Bar lake public access from your door step. The home sits on on the larger lot but you can split off back single lot with its own tax ID number. Manistee has been a recurring vacation destination for many years, with its sandy beaches and charming Victorian Port City. There's always things to do all year round' from The Manistee National Forest Festival for 4th of July, Victorian Sleigh Bell Parade celebrating the winter and so much more. Call Today.
