This bungalow cottage in the woods is truly a diamond in the rough! Location is everything, and this home is just steps away from the Little Manistee River via 18 Mile Bridge or Bear Track Campground, as well as the North Country Trail. Attached to public land, it offers both privacy and seclusion while being centrally located and accessible year-round. Step into this blast from the past and see that, although it is very outdated, this little cottage is solid, has good bones. Bring your paintbrush and decorating ideas to turn this into your dream up-north getaway. The home appears to have nice hardwood floors underneath the carpet! At this price, it's an excellent opportunity for investors and handymen to build some sweat equity! Call the listing agent today.
