Tucked away on 1.6 peaceful acres just off US-131, this unique Northern Michigan property blends privacy, functionality, and opportunity. The fully finished lower level features a two-car garage/workshop with 15-foot ceilings, ceiling fans, custom aluminum blinds, epoxy flooring, large overhead doors, a ¾ bath, and a kitchenette, making it ideal for a guest suite, small apartment, or creative studio space.

The kitchen showcases custom Amish hickory cabinets, built-in hickory drawers, granite countertops, and tile flooring, complemented by a cozy stone gas fireplace and hickory floors in the living area. Custom cloth blinds add a tailored touch throughout, while the 3-season sunroom and walk-up wooden deck invite you to enjoy the surrounding hardwoods year-round. Recent updates ensure peace of mind and modern comfort, including all new appliances (2025)—with a new garbage disposal, new hot water tank (2025), new boiler (2022), and septic serviced in 2024. A Starlink internet kit is also available, offering reliable connectivity for remote work or streaming.
