Walloon - MLS# 479976
There was a time when summer wasn't measured by the calendar, but by the sound of screen doors, evenings on the porch, and generations gathered around the lake. At 1474 North Shore Drive, that tradition is still alive. Known by neighbors up and down the shoreline as 'The Blue Lady', this beloved North Shore cottage has been a treasured place for generations. Rich with character, history, and timeless charm, it represents everything people have cherished about Walloon Lake for decades. Nestled among the iconic Seven Hills of North Shore, the property offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. Stroll the shoreline path to the 'Foot' or Walloon Village—depending on who you're talking to or enjoy a short drive to local restaurants, shopping, and an ice cream after a day on the water. Offering approximately 2,041 square feet, the cottage features 5 bedrooms, 4½ bathrooms, 50 feet of pristine Walloon Lake frontage, and an additional parcel located across North Shore Drive. Inside, the original character has been thoughtfully preserved, while expansive lake views remind you why generations have returned here year after year. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the 485-square-foot screened porch. As the familiar creak of the screen door welcomes you inside, you'll immediately understand why this space has hosted countless family dinners, card games, morning coffees, and sunset conversations. It's easy to imagine 'Porch Parties' becoming your family's newest tradition. The lower level includes two private guest suites, each with its own bathroom and separate exterior entrance, providing comfortable accommodations for family and friends, along with a convenient laundry area. Some cottages are purchased. Others are inherited through memories yet to be made. The Blue Lady offers a rare opportunity to become part of Walloon Lake's rich history while creating your own traditions for generations to come.
