About This Home

As of July 2025

Beautiful home nestled on Birch Street in East Houghton! This 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom home has been meticulously maintained and has a lovely backyard. As you walk into the main entrance, you're welcomed by a double story foyer and living room with a large fireplace. The dining room and kitchen overlook the forest below and connect to a spacious back deck. Ample natural light throughout the home. Main floor also has a laundry/powder room which connects to the attached garage. Garage has a workspace in the back which has room for lots of storage as well. The basement has a bonus living room with custom wood finishes and a large sauna. Head upstairs to the second floor and find the primary suite with its own bathroom and private deck with amazing views. In addition, there's two more bedrooms with a bathroom. The backyard is filled with native plants and the sounds of songbirds. Plenty of room for entertaining or growing a garden. This home is right in the middle of the city, but the wooded lot and lack of visible neighbors makes it feel like you're living in the country. Within walking distance to Michigan Tech, the Tech trails system, and all that Downtown Houghton has to offer. Check out this fine home today! Buyer to verify all information. Taxes to change upon sale.
