About This Home
Beautiful ranch on 3.5 Acres – private, charming & perfect for nature lovers or a homesteading-type lifestyle! Discover the rare opportunity to own a welcoming ranch home set on 3.5 private acres at the end of a quiet street. Bursting with charm, this property features historic touches, real hardwood flooring, and sun-filled rooms throughout. Designed for those dreaming of a peaceful lifestyle, the land offers endless possibilities—gardens, trees, chickens, or simply room to roam and observe birds and nature. The large fenced backyard includes a chicken coop, two garden beds, a dog run, and stunning year-round views. NOTE: the property extends well beyond the fenced area (see diagram in photos), giving you even more usable space. Enter through the enclosed front patio, which would make an awesome mud-room. Inside, you're welcomed into a large foyer. The home is warm, inviting, and set up beautifully for both daily comfort and gatherings. The huge family room features a cozy fireplace/wood-burning stove, perfect for Michigan winters. The extra-large dining room easily accommodates large holiday meals and entertaining with loved ones. The layout offers great flow, including an ensuite primary bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and a second full bathroom. A daylight partially finished basement with walk-up access to backyard provides ample storage space and potential for extra living space. Additional features & updates include: approx. 7–8 years old furnace, hot water heater approx. 6 years old, iron filter & appliances included. The large garage "technically" detached but conveniently connected to the home via a spacious covered patio. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the location—just 10 minutes to Pontiac Lake Recreation Area and beach, with great kayaking spots nearby. A truly special property with character, privacy, and room to create the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of. Don’t miss this one! Info deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
