Designed with an artistA¢a‚¬a„¢s eye, this home overlooks the Escanaba River and is four minutes from downtown Gladstone. Approach the house on the brick walkway passing the attached greenhouse. The owners were careful in their design to give an unobstructed view of the river throughout the home. The lofty covered porch on this nicely wooded 1.92 acre site opens up to a relaxing beautiful view of the river. YouA¢a‚¬a„¢ll feel like youA¢a‚¬a„¢re on vacation every day! The house is most efficient. In-floor propane/ hot water heat warms both levels (and the garage) providing incredibly comfortable warmth. The attic has extra blown in insulation and the foundation is constructed of ICF (Insulated Concrete Form). There are three solar tubes and low E-Glass transom style windows for added efficiency and style. Recently (May 2017) completely professionally painted inside and updated landscaping outside only enhances the beauty of this home. The main floor has 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths and open concept kitchen with cherry cabinets and a marble baking area. The, dining area opens through French doors to the covered porch with a panorama view of the Escanaba. The living room is spacious and full windowed. The master bedroom suite has a bonus room currently used as an library with French doors, a room that could easily be converted to a nursery, or nice extra bedroom with its large transom window overlooking the river. It has a master bath with a walk-in closet and outside entrance leading to a side deck that is set up for a hot tub.The lower level features a patio walk-out and large windows. It also includes a finished bedroom, a family room that is plumbed for a bar or kitchenette and wired for a ceiling mount projector, music room, hobby room, full bath and mechanical room. The furnace is a Weil McLain Ultra boiler providing heat to 4 zones of in-floor heat. The water maker will keep the hot water flowing for those long hot showers in all of the 3 full baths. This house includes an air exchange system as well as an Aqua Pure water system and is ready for TV and internet connection. The detached storage shed at the start of the property is roomy for our four wheelers, bikes, skis and other seasonal storage. The river in front of the property is shallow. After work or on the weekend, leave from the shore to kayak, canoe, fish or sit on an Adirondack in the river and do absolutely nothing at all. The property directly across the river from the house is flood plain and will not be built upon but is loaded with wildlife. Four-wheeler and snowmobile trails are close and you can leave right from home and be in the Hiawatha National Forest in minutes. State forest land is minutes away for hunting. The owner can be boating on Lake Michigan's Little Bay de Noc in no time, catching walleye and perch!
