Welcome to this attractive and well-maintained updated Cape Cod, ideally located near the Mighty AuSable River, Lumberman’s Monument, National Forest land, and acres of surrounding state and federal recreation areas. Just a few miles from Hale, about 20 minutes to Lake Huron and East Tawas, and approximately 40 minutes to West Branch, this home offers a wonderful blend of comfort, convenience, and Northern Michigan charm. Inside, you’ll find an inviting open floor plan with a vaulted living room and an upper loft area overlooking the main living space. The dream kitchen is designed to serve a large dining area with ease and features handcrafted cabinetry, in-floor heat, and thoughtful functionality throughout. Covered porches at both the front and back of the home extend the living space outdoors, including an enclosed front porch/sunroom filled with natural light and a rear covered deck with a separate entrance. The flexible bedroom layout offers multiple options, with the primary bedroom possible on either the upper or lower level and an adjoining bath nearby. The spacious upper-level family room, craft room, or potential primary suite provides excellent extended living space, while the main-floor third bedroom—previously used as an in-home salon—could easily function again as a home office or business space. Additional highlights include a newer roof, hot water heat, Boiler Mate water heater, three-zone heating, custom bathroom vanities, easy-care landscaping, a circle drive, hot tub, three-car garage with workshop space, and an additional shed. With nearby favorites like the Hale Eagles and the historic Bear Store just down the road, this property is ready to welcome its next owner home.
