This week’s Cereal City Buzz Featured Home takes us to 13703 Carefree Dr, Battle Creek, MI 49017, where lake living comes with practical space for everyday life. Listed at $332,500 after a $2,500 price reduction, this three-bedroom home offers 1,594 square feet, one full bathroom, and a setting along Mill Lake.
A Home Built Around the Water
The property’s lakefront position, water access, and water views are the main attraction. Mill Lake is described in the listing as an all-sports lake, and the home includes private shared access. A sunporch looks toward the water and adds character with skylights, wood details, and a distinctive rock wall. Outside, an upper deck provides another spot to relax and take in the surroundings.
Flexible Space Inside
The one-story layout includes two main-level bedrooms, a bay window, and main-level laundry. A third bedroom is in the walk-out basement, which also has natural light and a spacious recreation room. The lower level fills the footprint beneath the house and includes room that the listing says could be finished with an additional bathroom and kitchen, giving the next owner options without promising a completed renovation.
The listing also highlights a newer kitchen, roof, furnace, and water heater. Heating is forced air using propane, while the property is served by a well and septic system. The home was built in 1986 and features vinyl siding, stone accents, and a composition roof.
Storage for Lake Gear and More
Buyers who need room for vehicles, tools, or outdoor equipment will find both a two-car attached garage and a 22-by-32-foot pole barn. The 14,810-square-foot lot adds useful outdoor space, and there is no homeowners association listed. Together, the water setting, storage options, and unfinished lower-level potential make this property an interesting choice for buyers who want a lake home they can shape over time.

That pole barn is a great bonus for lake toys
Absolutely, the spacious pole barn really sets this property apart for anyone with boats, kayaks, or outdoor gear to store!
Stacey LeeTotally agree! My brother has a place on Goguac and he’s always wishing he had more storage for kayaks and jet skis. That barn would really come in handy.
