The waterfront
No water frontage on this lot — deeded beach access is across the road; Lake Huron shoreline visible in aerial photos
Inside the home
A custom 2005 build on 2.5 acres in Howdenvale, about a short walk from Lake Huron via deeded beach access across the road. The main floor runs nearly 1,900 sq ft in an open layout — kitchen, dining, and living all connected under vaulted ceilings, with patio doors opening to a large covered upper deck. The lower level adds another 1,100 sq ft with a family room, two bedrooms, a full bath, separate workshop, and rough-in for a second kitchen — a workable setup for guests or extended family. A detached 20x24 shop and attached two-car garage add serious storage and hobby space. Finishes are largely original 2005 throughout — oak cabinets, white appliances, laminate counters — but the house is clean and well-kept. The mechanical systems are recent: heat pump with AC in 2023, high-efficiency furnace in 2022. The outdoor spaces are the highlight, with a paver fire pit area, mature conifers, and walking trails through the back of the lot.
