Location, location, location! Nestled in the heart of Minocqua, this 2-bedroom, 3-bath home offers the best of Northwoods living with all the perks of being near the water - without the waterfront tax bill. Situated right next to the public boat launch on beautiful Papkee Lake, spontaneous fishing trips, sunset cruises, and days on the water are only steps away. Plus, you're just minutes from Minocqua's vibrant downtown filled with local restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, seasonal events, and everything that makes this community such a beloved Northwoods destination. Inside, you'll find a blend of character and comfort with charming original details, warm wood floors in the kitchen, a cozy fireplace, and a bar addition that creates the perfect gathering spot after a day outdoors. Triple-pane windows provide energy efficiency and a peaceful interior, while main-floor laundry adds everyday convenience. A second full bath is located just off the kitchen, and upstairs you'll find both bedrooms along with the third full bath. Recent updates - including a new roof (2023), fresh exterior paint (2024), and a brand-new furnace (2024) - mean you can spend less time on projects and more time enjoying everything Minocqua has to offer. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or investment opportunity, this home puts Northwoods recreation and lake life right at your doorstep.
