Overview

Description

Mid-Century Modern Tetradecago (14-sided) cottage on Portage Lake! This one-of-a-kind lakefront retreat isn't just a home--it's a conversation piece. Set on a rare .254-acre lot with 98 feet of prime Portage Lake frontage, it's one of only 10 properties on Colony Road not located on a canal--hello, wide-open water views! Built in 1963, the striking 14-sided design delivers serious architectural flair. The 1,736 sq ft main cottage offers 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, while the separate bunkhouse adds flexible sleeping space and a second full bath--perfect for guests, lake weekends, or overflow fun. The dreamy screen room is your front-row seat to sunsets, breezes, and everything you love about lake life. Stylish, rare, and unforgettable--this is MCM magic on the water.
