12 Birch Ln Ishpeming, MI 49849

The curb appeal wows you as soon as you drive up to the property! The home is located on a lot that is surrounded by mature trees but also has beautiful grassy areas to create the perfect balance. The owners have wrapped the home with lovely landscaping as well. It is such a lovely, serene setting with nothing out of place. As you go to the backyard, that same balance continues. A large deck (12x21) invites you to sit back and enjoy mother nature in all her glory. There’s room for a grill, a table and chairs and patio furniture as well. There are markings of the old garden space next to the shed in the backyard--someone could fence it back in and have a lovely garden once again. There are two doors that lead you to the deck from the interior of the home. One leads you to a small entry/foyer (6x9) with a bench area and the laundry closet as well as access to the basement. The other entry brings you into the kitchen and family room area. The remainder of this level consists of the living room, two bedrooms and a full bathroom. Storage space is plentiful on this level -- there are nicely appointed closets in each bedroom, an ample coat/storage closet in the living room and a very large storage space across from the bathroom. The lower level consists of a third bedroom, a full bathroom and a bonus room that could serve as an office, hobby or game room or additional living space. The remainder of this level is unfinished. The garage is accessed from this level. The owners have invested in new siding, windows and a roof on the exterior and installed a new furnace and water heater 7 years ago. There’s new carpet throughout the main living area, a new pump in the well, the deck is treated every year and the septic is pumped every 3 years. This is a shining example of how to maintain a home.
