570 Bear Lake Road

Overview

Welcome to 570 Bear Lake Road in charming North Muskegon with 50 feet of private frontage on all-sports Bear Lake. If you crave more water, you can travel from Bear Lake to Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan without leaving your boat! That's three lakes for the price of one! This waterfront home sits on just over a half-acre. The main level, with open floor plan, large living/dining areas and a wall of patio sliders offers expansive water views and abundant natural light. The gas-log fireplace with stone surround and unique wood mantel provides convenient ambiance and warmth on cold days. Rounding out the main floor is the spacious kitchen with large pantry, half bath, and main-floor primary with ensuite. Step outside the sliding patio doors to an expansive, multi-level deck with stairs to the ground level patio and lakefront. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with a full bath.

What to ask about this one

Three questions worth putting to the listing side before you write anything. They are specific to this property, not a checklist.

1. 01

   Confirm the bottomland ownership and what the dock permit allows

2. 02

   Check the lake board's rules on watercraft and no-wake hours

3. 03

   Budget for a pre-1978 inspection — lead paint, knob-and-tube, and the roof

4. 04

   Ask what the taxable value uncaps to after the sale, not what the seller pays now
