A BREATH OF FRESH AIR! Nestled into 9.4 acres of undulating land, this 3-bedroom/2-bath ranch home in Portage Township is surrounded by plenty of space and fresh country air. This property’s far-reaching views include a blissful eyeful of the beautiful Portage Canal, rolling yard and grand trees. Upon entering this home, you will find an open-concept that accommodates the kitchen, family and dining rooms with the convenience of the laundry room located close to the kitchen. Master bedroom with walk-in closet, master bath with separate shower and two spacious bedrooms. A 22x27 bonus room addition adds additional living space and is designed to suit all occasions from entertaining guests (Tikki bar included) to the solitude of relaxing after a day at work. Additional features include free standing fireplaces in each living room with wood and gas for those chilly mornings or evenings. Stepping through the sliding glass doors in the dining area onto the 28x12 timber deck only adds to the feeling of space and openness. Outside features include a 10x14 shed with power and concrete floor and 110 feet of paved driveway with an ideal location for a garage build. A great property for those starting up or slowing down, this gem is only a 1/2 mile to MTU trails and a short 5 minute drive to Houghton and its amenities. You really can have the best of both worlds!
