A Turn-Key Treasure in Onaway!
Nestled on a quiet, walkable side street in the heart of Onaway, this charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow was built in 2023 and thoughtfully improved since. Situated on a spacious corner lot just blocks from downtown shops, restaurants, parks, and everyday conveniences, it offers the perfect blend of low-maintenance living and small-town charm, with everything you need close at hand.
The home features approximately 640 square feet of efficient living space, a detached one-car garage, durable vinyl siding, a metal roof, tankless water heater, and luxury vinyl plank flooring, designed for years of worry-free ownership. Since purchasing the home in 2024, the current owner has invested over $6,000 in brand-new appliances, all of which are included in the sale. In 2025, a new asphalt driveway and walkway were added, providing convenient access from the garage to the home and road.
Located less than 10 minutes from Black Lake, Onaway State Park, and endless opportunities for boating, fishing, and outdoor recreation, this property would make an excellent year-round residence, retirement home, weekend getaway, or investment property.
The seller is relocating, offering a wonderful opportunity to own a nearly new home with many of the big-ticket improvements already completed.
This recent build is a rare find, featuring new appliances, a recently installed asphalt driveway, modern finishes, and a desirable in-town location, all with a competitive market price. With limited housing inventory in the area, opportunities like this don’t come along often.

What the owner loves about this home
One of my favorite things about this home is how comfortable and easy it is to live in. The pine accent walls and gas stove give the living space a cozy Up North feel, while the open layout makes it feel much larger than its footprint. The detached garage offers extra storage and workspace, and the corner lot provides a nice sense of openness.
The location is perfect, as it is tucked away on a quiet side street, it’s easy to take a short walk into town for coffee, dinner, or everyday errands. With Black Lake, Onaway State Park, and miles of outdoor recreation just minutes away, the home offers a wonderful balance of convenience, simplicity, and northern Michigan charm, regardless of season.
