When this comfortable Victorian family home was built the emphasis was on quality and durability, not on skimping of materials to build in the cheapest way possible. The insulated outside walls are six inches thick. The fire resistant siding need never be painted. The bedrooms are large by today's standards. The location is excellent on a quiet residential street but close to downtown shopping, a short walk to the waterfront park and snowmobile/sports trail, view of the Keweenaw Waterway, the Portage Lake lift bridge, the Houghton County marina and the ski hill. This is a cozy home that provides plenty of privacy, a living room for quiet conversation, a dining room that easily seats dinner for twelve, and a convenient laundry/bathroom on the ground floor. There are hard wood floors on the first and second stories, and wall to wall carpeting. SEE ADDENDUM FOR MORE DETAILS. Important for the Copper Country winters neither entrance opens directly to the outdoors, an enclosed front entrance and a mud room at the rear. There is ample parking for cars in two driveways, an advantage of a corner lot. Because the current owners are moving to a retirement apartment they are leaving the house in ready to move in condition, complete with furniture, dishes, linens, kitchen appliances, cutlery, and home maintenance equipment. The basement has a work bench and darkroom for the home handyman and photography enthusiast. Wired for hundred amp service. Out of town buyers will find this superb location is free from hurricanes, floods, tornadoes or earthquakes. Excellent year round vacation retreat for boating, fishing, hunting, skiing, and snowmobiling. The zoning is multi-family and has income producing potential. Approx. lot size: 50x100 +/-
