Excellent location close to both Escanaba and Bark River. This property sits on just over 2.5 Acres of land with no visible neighbors. The current owner has heated the home with a wood boiler located in the attached two stall garage, and there is also a propane fueled boiler. The roof is only a couple of years old. This spacious home has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. Although the house itself has projects to be taken on and finished, this property has great potential, and will be well worth updating.
