The Schrubery - Frankfort, MI
Crystal Lake retreat w/terrific lake views, private waterfront, firepit, 2 bikes
The Schubery sits on the south shore of Crystal Lake, shaded by the bluff behind. Across the road from the home is 200' of private waterfront with a small sandy beach, firepit, and sandbox area. Enjoy some of the best views of the Lake from inside the home or outside on the spacious deck.
Stored in the walk-out basement, you'll find a canoe for a spontaneous trip around the lake. Or, grab the bikes and take a ride down to the Crystal View Cafe for a tasty treat! Wood for the firepit is also stored in here to keep it dry for the emergency marshmallow roast.
This unique tri-level home offers a large floor plan. From the walkout basement, you will take the steps to the first level. At the top of the stairs, you will find the full recently renovated bathroom with a space heater to take the chill off on a cold morning. You’ll also find the first two bedrooms, one with a twin over full bed and the other with a queen bed.
The second level is the main living area. This room offers the best view of the lake from the inside. Large windows and new doors span the front of the cottage. The open floor plan has a spacious kitchen overlooking the living and dining areas. The living area offers two sofas and a rocking chair. Sit back and relax while watching tv or enjoying a fire in the woodstove.
Off the main living area, you will find a wrap-around deck with plenty of seating. The views from this deck are some of the best you will find on the lake. The deck itself has open railings so make sure to monitor little ones when enjoying the space. Up the stairs, to the third level, you will find another newly renovated bath and two more bedrooms. The larger room with a queen bed offers a view of the lake. The smaller room with a twin over twin bunk bed also has a loft with a ¾ mattress.
