Location is a Plus! The dead end makes it a quiet street. It is within walking distance to walk along the water to uptown and downtown Bay City. There is an alleyway driveway and parking on the street. Great View of the Bay City Fireworks in the summer! Large kitchen with an island bar & a dining room. Has a dry basement for lots of storage room. The first floor bedroom has a large closet and a room that could be used as an office, craft room, playroom or another bedroom. 2 bedrooms upstairs have large closets and a 1/2 bath. Fresh paint and flooring in some of the rooms.
Columbus Avenue, located between Downtown Bay City and the Saginaw River, is a residential and commercial Bay City neighborhood with a walkable main drag and a classic Midwestern streetscape. The character concentrates along Columbus Avenue near Center Avenue, where storefronts, corner bars, and service shops keep the sidewalks active. Early-20th-century houses and small apartment buildings sit behind mature trees, while brick facades and painted signs give the corridor a lived-in look. Wenonah Park and the Riverwalk set a waterside rhythm for daily routines. Delta College Planetarium adds a cultural anchor close by. Side streets stay quieter, with porches and compact lots shaping the block-by-block feel.
