The kind of Frankenmuth property that rarely comes along: 1.2 country acres, a brick ranch with finished basement—and town just five minutes away. Lovingly cared for by its original owner, the 1,300-square-foot home gives you peace of mind with several important updates and improvements, including a newer 6-inch well installed by Taylor Well Drilling, Culligan water softener, Generac generator, 2023 furnace installed by Newtons and a roof from 2010. Original hardwood floors, functional built-ins throughout, and solid wood slab cabinetry give the home a sense of character that simply cannot be replicated in newer construction. The kitchen opens to the dining area and overlooks the private backyard, where mature evergreens create a beautiful sense of seclusion. The spacious living room features large windows overlooking the front yard, while three bedrooms offer original hardwood floors and built-in storage. The full bath includes a walk-in shower and original built-in cabinetry, adding both function and charm. Convenient first-floor laundry and a half bath feature original pink fixtures and vintage patriotic wallpaper—a fun nod to the home's history and personality. The finished basement adds an entirely different layer of potential. A kitchenette is already in place, along with a walk-in shower and space that could be finished into a full bath. Whether you're envisioning a recreation room, guest space, hobby area, home office or additional living space, the basement provides flexibility that is hard to find in a ranch of this size. For the buyer who appreciates land, privacy, one-level living and a home with genuine original character, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Frankenmuth area without sacrificing convenience. A quiet rural setting, 1.2 acres, Frankenmuth schools and a meticulously maintained original-owner brick ranch—there simply aren't many properties like this.
