Located in Franklin Township just outside of Hancock - This 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a two-car attached garage has so much to offer! The main floor includes living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom/laundry and a beautiful foyer that displays some gorgeous original woodwork and leaded glass window. The kitchen also has entry connected to the breezeway between the house and garage. The second floor consists of 4 bedrooms, and office (possible 5th bedroom) and a full bathroom with a granite vanity and tiled floor. The home has wonderful natural light, hardwood floors in many of the rooms and great living spaces. The large picture windows in the living and dining rooms gives you some views of the lift bridge and some areas of the property with lake views with the Houghton hillside in the background. This can be especially scenic at night with the city lights and the fall color season. The attached garage was built in 2014+/- and the double roof and the electrical were upgraded in 2017. This property is conveniently located only minutes from downtown Hancock and Houghton, close proximity to the DNR trailhead (Trail #2) and a convenient drive to Michigan Tech’s campus. There is a side and back yard to enjoy the outdoors, with a patio area behind the breezeway great for your grilling area. The basement has direct access from inside and a side exterior door. The attic has walk-up access from the office on the 2nd floor. The garage is set back from the road for a nice buffer from the road and extra parking.

Buyer recommended to inspect & verify all aspects of the property & bares all risks for any inaccuracies including but not limited to estimated acreage, lot location/size, square footage, utilities (availability & costs associated).
