Bass Lake Homes Commerce MI

Here are some of the features of Bass Lake waterfront homes.  The homes have two to five bedrooms, one to four and a half bathrooms and some have no basements, crawls, slabs, walk out basements, regular basements, finished and unfinished.  The home styles include ranch, contemporary, colonial and cape cod style homes.  Bass Lake homes were built between the years 1935 to 2015.

Most of the homes sit on lake lots that are less than a half an acres.  Though there are a few of the homes that sit on lots of 1, 2.5, 2,85 acres.  Some of the older homes on the lake have no garages and then they range from one, two, to three and a half car garages.  The newer homes that were built after the 1980's have the bigger garages.  Homes on Bass Lake range in size from 528 square feet to 3900 square feet

Current there are aproxiamately about sixty four homes on the lake.  There are only a few empty lake lots on the lake and I do not know if they are buildable.  You would have to get the parcel number and then talk to the building department in Commerce Township. This is something you need to do yourself as I have seen before where a communities building department says one thing to the realtor and something different to the buyer.  Get the facts yourself. 

The homes on the lake are on well.  Most of them have septic systems however there are some homes that are on sewers. There is a wide variety of lakefront homes on Bass Lake.  There are still some small 500 - 1000 square foot old lake cottages that have been converted into year round homes.  There are big brick colonial, cape cod, and contemporary homes that were built from the 1990's to the present day.  The newer homes are clustered together so you are not going to see many small old cottages next to the much, much larger brick colonials that have attached garages and basements.

 Quiet with mature trees the lake ist close to everything, it is a lake with something for everyone.  The lake has a very private, yet up north feeling. It is, however, just minutes from everything. 

Bass Lake Commerce MI info

Bass Lake in Commerce MI is a private electric motor lake that is 37 acres in size.  It is a no wake lake. Unwritten wake restrictions from the state of Michigan because you only can have an electric motor or paddle power.  The lake is located within the Charter Township of Commerce.  There is public acess only because a few subdivisions around the lake have neighborhood associations have beach lots on the lake.  There is no public DNR boat launch on the lake.

The lake is spring fed and fed by a stream to the north.  The bottom of the lake is like so many other Oakland County Lakes.  It is sandy & mucky depending on where you live making it a great lake for families and swimming. It is considered an "electric motor only" lake with more than enough water for paddling around and fishing. In fact, Bass Lake is a favorite fishing lake with the residents. Plentiful populations of blue gill, bass, and crappie make their home in the lake.

Of course there is no state approved ski course on the lake because there are no motor boats on the lake, there is no marina, and non condominiums on the lake.  There are three short canals on the lake that have homes on them.  There are just single family residences on Bass Lake.  The streets around the lake are mainly paved however there is a gravel road too.  The children on the lake go to Walled Lake Schools.

On the waters of Bass Lake, Commerce township, Oakland county, it is unlawful to operate a vessel powered by a motor except an electric motor. 

There are several neighborhood association lake access, beach sites on the lake.

Bass Lake Location

Bass Lake is a lake located just 2.5 miles from Wolverine Lake, in Oakland County. 

Is it time for you to move on or off a lake?  Job transfers, downsizing, retirement may be just some of the reasons to move off the lake and sell your lake home or regular home.  If you are then you may want to spruce your waterfront home up.  Today’s home buyers want that fixed up, move in ready home.  They want the freshly painted walls, the granite counter tops, the new carpet, the refinished hardwood floors, the updated kitchens and baths.   Today’s lake home buyers do not want to see paneling, wall paper, or old cabinets.  Today's buyers prefer kitchens that have views of the lake, larger master bedrooms with views of the lake, and open layout homes. 

You may not be able to change your layout, or open your kitchen up to get a lake view but you may be able to take that old wall paper down.   You could paint, or update the carpet.  What you do should be compared to how much the sales price will increase.   You do not want to spend $30,000 updating the kitchen to get $20,000 back.  You do not want to spend $20,000 to finish the basement if you only get a $10,000 return. 

One of my prime examples of how a updated home can get a high price is:   In 2014 a small canal front home with no basement got $200 a square foot.  It sold at such a high price because it was pristine and totally updated.  It sold in under a week!  Other homes that were in need of work have been sitting on the market for three months or more.  Some of these fixer uppers could have sold sooner if only the sellers took a little time to get them ready to sell.
