About This Home
Enjoy peaceful riverfront living in this cozy one-story ranch set on over an acre with 315 feet of private frontage along the East Au Gres River—ranked the #3 trout river in Lower Michigan. A haven for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts, the river is stocked every April and offers fishing for trout, suckers, walleye, and the occasional bass—right in your own backyard. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends comfort, accessibility, and energy efficiency. The spacious living area features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, central air, and gas forced air heat with a newer furnace (2022), plus a secondary electric baseboard system. The home includes wide, handicapped-accessible doorways and large windows with scenic river views. The partially finished walk-out basement spans 31' x 25' and provides valuable additional living space, including a 3/4 bath, large utility/laundry area, and a flexible sleeping or guest overflow area—ideal for visitors or extended stays. From here, step out to a peaceful patio that overlooks the river for quiet mornings or evening gatherings. Outdoor living is extended with a 39' x 9' upper-level deck offering elevated river views and space to relax or entertain. The attached garage is fully insulated and heated with a concrete floor, and a 10' x 21' carport offers convenient storage for outdoor gear, ATVs, or water toys. Major updates include a newer metal roof (2022) and a $30,000 solar system with 16 panels, keeping electric costs to a minimal $20/month service fee. Additional features include an owned water softener and home security system. Located just 15 minutes from Lake Huron, shopping, and dining, this riverfront retreat offers privacy, recreation, and modern efficiency. Whether you’re seeking a year-round residence or a weekend getaway, this property delivers comfort, value, and the beauty of Up North Michigan living.
