Welcome to your cozy home in the country! With over 400 feet on the Laughing Whitefish River you'll have a quiet retreat to call home. Located 19 minutes from Chocolay, you could work in Marquette and escape to the country every day! If you have school age kids they could walk to school...the AuTrain-Onota School is a short walk away. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home features a vaulted wood ceiling in the living, dining, and kitchen area of the home. The stone wood burning fireplace is a lovely and warming focal point to gather around. Hard wood parquet floors in most of the home add warmth and beauty. The larger, primary bedroom has it's own ensuite bath. The home and large 3 car garage were built in 1989. It was used as a successful vacation rental by the sellers and can be used as such by new owners. Onota Township zoning is "town development" which allows vacation rentals.
