A public access, fishing lake is 1/2 block West, plus the Michigamme River, approximately 2 blocks West for all type of water activities. This turn-key three-bedroom has been thoughtfully refreshed and refurbished, with major renovations including newer roof and downstair windows, updated bathrooms, and mostly updated plumbing and wiring.

Newer interior and exterior doors and trim throughout, fresh paint, and updated flooring create a welcoming feel, while the newer beautiful hardwood floors in the main living areas complements the home's historic character. The main floor features a spacious eat-in kitchen with ample cabinetry, a formal dining room and living room.

The original staircase, crowned by an impressive newel post, is striking focal point. Natural light fills the home and the second floor feels especially spacious with its nine-foot ceiling. Upstairs has been insulated and re-drywalled, and deep closets provide generous storage.

The brick living -room wall offers an ideal spot for a wood-burning stove, and the chimney is in good condition. A spacious back entry houses the laundry and can also serve as a home office. Outside, enjoy the newer decks, and brick walkway leading to it.

The apple tree by the deck is known for producing apples especially good for pies. The nicely landscaped corner lot also features a privacy fence, split rail fence, and storage shed. With its striking original staircase, sun-filled rooms, thoughtful updates, and welcoming outdoor spaces, this home offers a special blend of historic character and comfortable living in the heart of Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula.
