In the heart of Houghton is this rare gem. From the moment you walk through the front door into the foyer you will be impressed by the high ceilings, gorgeous birch and maple Horner floors, and custom woodwork. The spacious living room shares a fireplace with the dining room on the opposite side of a wall. Built in shelves flank the fireplace on both sides. The dining room has sliding glass doors to a large deck overlooking the private fenced-in back yard and the tree tops to the north. There are cabinets in the dining room to store and display your dishware. Opening up to the dining room is the efficiently laid out kitchen with a breakfast bar, warm oak cabinets, attractive counter tops, and stainless appliances. Off the kitchen is the laundry/mud room and access to the attached heated/cooled, insulated 2-car garage. Rounding out the main floor is a den/office to the left of the foyer and a half bath to the right. Up the majestic staircase you'll find a lovely Master Bedroom Suite with vaulted ceilings, a full bath with a soaking tub and separate shower, and a huge walk-in closet. You'll find 2-3 more bedrooms upstairs, one is a walk-through and would make a great office, playroom, or what have you. The bedroom on the north side of the house has a spectacular view of Mont Ripley ski hill. A perfect spot to enjoy the Winter Carnival fireworks! This bedroom has a huge closet with double bi-fold doors. On the south side of the house beyond the walk-through bedroom you will find another suite with a cozy bedroom, built in shelves, another walk-in closet, and a bath. The details throughout the house are quality. Solid oak doors, lots of built-in shelves, and storage. Let's head to the basement. There is a brand new (2020) exercise room with a beautiful sauna with a unique copper-toned floor. The floor of the exercise room is a sprung floor like those used in dance studios. Attractive tongue-in-groove ceiling and built-in bench. Hidden storage under the basement stairs. Then enter the third garage/basement with an incredible work shop. (Cue the Tim the Toolman Taylor's grunt). The workshop is lined with shelves and benches (negotiable) and is ready for your tools and equipment. The mechanical room is off the workshop. 3-zoned heat and a newer smart Honeywell thermostat. You'll find the central vac, lawn sprinkler system, dog house with entry a secure fenced area, a toilet, and plenty of storage here. Updates done by the owner include but are not limited to installing the sliding glass doors to the deck, the deck, the fenced-in back yard, luxury vinyl plank flooring in the bathrooms, newer kitchen appliances (1 yrs) and W&D (6 yrs), new furnace 2018 and water heater 2016, built the exercise room and added the sauna, newer 8x12 shed, new roof in 2018 with ice guard and 40-year shingles and sky lights. Sellers would prefer a later closing and/or Seller occupancy (rent back) through Thanksgiving but they are negotiable on this.
