About 202 Mcdonald Dr

1. Expansive Lakefront Lot (Just Under 1 Acre): Unlike most properties on Houghton Lake, this home sits on a rare, oversized lot with ample parking and space for guests, trailers, and all your lake toys. No need to juggle cars or compromise on convenience. 2. Prime Location on McDonald Drive: Nestled in one of the lake’s most sought-after subdivisions, this home is located on a private lane with only three residences—perfect for families with pets or children who enjoy playing outside without the worry of traffic. It’s a peaceful, walkable area just minutes from local favorites like The Spikehorn (famous for its pizza), the county park across the street, and charming ice cream and coffee shops just a short bike ride away. 3. Ideal North Shore, West-Facing Views: Enjoy breathtaking sunsets and sunshine all day long. The west-facing orientation provides panoramic sunset views that are truly unmatched. 4. Versatile Property with Bonus Lot: In addition to the lakefront parcel, a second, separately deeded vacant lot across the private lane offers endless possibilities—RV parking, toy storage, or the potential for a second home without lakefront taxes. Perfect for multi-family buyers or those looking to expand. 5. Private Wooded Escape: A cozy wooded area with its own fire ring creates the perfect setting for camping, s’mores, or a peaceful retreat for teens or guests. 6. Beautifully Remodeled Home: The home has been completely renovated within the past 10 years—every surface updated for a clean, modern feel. Move-in ready and well-maintained. 7. Oversized Garage: A spacious 4.5-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, boats, jet skis, tools, and more. 8. Lakeside Boat House: Located just 20 feet from the water’s edge, this convenient boat house makes storing and accessing your lake gear a breeze. 9. Included Camper: A camper on-site is included with the property—great for additional guest space or weekend adventures.
