Beautiful , well maintained New York style unit with beautiful living quarters up, and finished off garage, on lower level, living area, full kitchens, and full baths on each level. This property is very unique, and is setting on 1.53 acres, with state land directly across the road. The Manistee River, and the main snowmobile trail that runs north and south along US 131, is within a mile or two from this property. Great location, with all the 4 seasons to enjoy, and to have fun. Traverse city, and Cadillac is 20 miles away, so you have all the amenities, with shopping, golfing, casino, wine tours, and etc. Awesome property, a must see !
