This charming ranch style home sits on a picturesque 6+ acre site just minutes from downtown Manistique, and would make an incredible opportunity for those seeking a quiet rural setting to call their own. The home features a simple, straight forward floor plan with everything on one level, with a spacious primary bedroom and smaller second bedroom/flex space. The kitchen is compact yet efficient and features vintage custom cabinets made in the 1950's from a massive cherry tree that was growing on the property next door. You'll stay toasty warm all year round with a forced air natural gas furnace (only 2/3 years old), and the roof was replaced 10 years ago and is in great shape. The home could use some cosmetic updates here and there, but is structurally sound and would be a worthwhile project for a wide variety of buyers. Included in the sale is a small yellow house next door, of which this home shares a well. The smaller home has been vacant for several years, but with some renovations and work could possibly be fixed back up to it's former glory. At the end of the driveway sits a massive garage, with storage space off the back, and some sheds and storage buildings dotted throughout the back yard. The acreage is all high and dry, comprised mostly of open meadow/ lawn with mature hardwoods providing shade and some beautiful fall color. Don't hesitate to reach out today for more information on this great home, offered at a great price!
