About This Home

As of August 2025

Located in the peaceful countryside of Portage Township this home with a serene setting overlooking the private pond has so much to offer! The area immediately surrounding the home is cleared for your outdoor enjoyment but the privacy is enhanced by the wooded areas surrounding it with some established trails! The multi-level home includes kitchen, dining room, spacious family room with wood burning stove, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, walk-thru office area, mudroom and main floor laundry. The tongue and groove walls and ceilings in various rooms and the living room’s beamed ceiling add to the character and charm. The primary bedroom has a 3/4 bathroom with tiled shower. The main floor bathroom includes the laundry area. The mudroom has great storage and direct access to the 2-car garage with additional storage area above it. The home has a cozy cottage feel while maintaining all of the spaces for everyday living. There is also a seasonal enclosed porch overlooking the pond and great outdoor spaces to enjoy. In addition to the attached garage there is a detached garage (24x30+/-) with lean-to and a pole building (24x30+/-) with lean-to. There is a storage building that was previously a sauna. In the last 4+/- years the seller has added the reverse osmosis drinking water system in kitchen, high efficiency outdoor wood boiler system (currently winterized) and Generac Generator. The washer, dryer, refrigerator, oven/range, dishwasher and microwave were new in 2024. So much to enjoy – gardening, recreational activities, wildlife and more! This is a lifestyle opportunity— for a permanent home, weekend escape, or start of your homestead. UP.net fiber optic has been run to the house (contact provider for information). Approximately 18+/- miles from Houghton and Michigan Technological University, 4+/- miles to Otter Lake and 3+/- miles to Tapiola. ---------- NOTICE: All information believed accurate but not warranted.
