17130 Highpoint Rd, Hancock, MI 49930

Wonderful country home on 8.4 acres tucked away in a forest of oak, birch, and pine with a view of The Portage Waterway glinting between the tree trunks. New owner could clear out some trees to increase the view. Only 3 miles from the city of Hancock. Highpoint Rd. has about ten residences on it and dead ends after about 1.25 miles. The original stone-founded structure has anchored this land for over a century. Check for very well-maintained vintage elements in the hardwood flooring and heavy duty Craftsman style door trim and baseboard planks. Much of the home is of completely modern construction (added on in 1996 & 2000) but so tastefully finished that it seamlessly blends old with new in natural elegance. A huge deck off the newer kitchen and dining room carries the comfort to the outdoors. Spacious attached garage with upstairs storage. The property also extends all the way down to M203 near the waterway across from Oskar Bay. Great scenery and outdoor recreation in this area. Original home was built between 1900-1910. Canal side addition built in 2000. Sun room, porch & garage built in 1996. Cell phone booster might be able to increase cell reception. Charter cable is currently wired. Maple hardwood floors. Jacuzzi tub in bathroom. Old kitchen could make an excellent laundry room or office. Anderson windows. Oak kitchen cabinets & built-ins. Antique stove is negotiable. Crawlspace is heated. Plumbing is available for dishwasher. The basement is very well kept, has a stand up shower, and has outside access. A surveyor recently marked the property lines. Portions of the roof and garage were replaced by a licensed contractor this summer.
