Rare opportunity to purchase a spectacular acre+ property along the sought after Paint Creek, with 185 feet of frontage! Home is a solid but very dated time-capsule with all kinds of potential: could be improved in its current configuration, or expanded/rebuilt. Newer septic system, dimensional roof, Carrier HE furnace & AC, and some newer windows. Current owner had significant lot clearing work completed in preparation for dream-home project, and then life circumstances changed, forcing sale. Home passed well & septic inspections with flying colors in November - reports available. Walking distance to Paint Creek Trail and Goodison/Paint Creek Cider Mills - minutes to both downtown Rochester and Lake Orion via Orion Road. Rochester Schools.
