$40,000 (starting bid, NOT the selling price) FSBO - NO SOLICITATIONS FROM REALTORS! Small camp/cottage on edge of little UP town in heart of Ottawa National Forest. 2BR, 1BA. Open concept w/ bedrooms not fully closed off from rest of home. Good amount of storage for a small home. Owner added some permanent shelving. Shed. Views of nature to south off kitchen/living room, and west off back porch. Enclosed wood-lined front and back porches, back porch an extension of living space. Gravel parking pad added. Vinyl siding, recently washed. A lot of trim recently repainted. Larger yard-maybe 1/3 acre-with some yard plantings, small back porch deck. Metal roof repainted 8/21, should be good for 15 years. New on-demand/tankless water heater 9/21. New sump pump/housing/drain hose 9/21. Plumbing updates. 2 light fixtures replaced, new kitchen light/fan left for buyer to install. Living room, 1 bedroom, bathroom painted with good quality Zinsser mold/mildew resistant primer-top w/ finish paint/paper or leave flat white. 2nd bedroom and kitchen have a lot of wood walls. Old soft pine plank floors could be finished or painted, all old flooring removed. Double pane windows w/storm windows and screens, blinds/curtains stay w/home, most are light/temperature “block-out”. Home well insulated, easy to heat. On township water, sewer, natural gas lines. Natural gas furnace, water heater, stove-oven. Refrigerator-freezer and smaller clothes washer - fits a full set of queen sheets in one load. Old cedar-lined former sauna could easily be turned back into traditional wood-fired sauna, tub has drop-down lid for bench or add bench seats back in and replace wood stove. Home on edge of town so feels more private, great views of nature on 2 sides, lots of wildlife visits yard. All appliances and systems currently working, home fully livable year round. Boundary survey paid with markers visible, copies to be passed on to buyer. There's room on the lot for an expansion of home to south side and west off back, buyer could likely cheaply buy small wooded/marshy lot to south to give even more room for expansion. Attic could be finished to add more living space-furnace large enough to heat the extra space, would need flooring, insulation, electricity, and better access - current small access hatch in bathroom. Some rerouting of plumbing lines (kitchen/bathroom sinks) in crawl space would be a good idea. The lines are fairly close to the hatch access in 2nd bedroom and with new sump pump/housing/surround it is not so hard to go into. Lines are working but empty to a gray water line draining to back of property which has frozen a couple times, should drain to the attached township sewer lines, current owner not that handy to complete such work and squeamish about going into crawl space. Annual taxes paid in 2 installments currently about $380.44 total. CASH ONLY, NO LAND CONTRACT, NO RENT-TO-OWN. Home being sold "AS IS". Buyer pays all closing costs but they are cheap, with walk-in closing done in minutes nearby, with no realtors or lawyers required which saves money. You may view home and/or place offer bid. Seller will update buyers on if minimum bid level has been met and of highest bid before accepting an offer so buyers may chose to raise their bids. Seller to move within a month if not sooner making home available by early July at latest.

Nonrefundable Earnest Money down payment of $1,000 will be required to secure property until closing. lochlady@gmail.com
