A Local Landmark You Can Call Home --
If you've driven down Werth Road during the holidays, chances are you already know this house! Known throughout the area as the famous Gum Drop Christmas Tree House, this recognizable property is now ready for a new owner.
Situated on just over an acre just outside the city limits, this sprawling ranch offers the space and versatility you've been looking for while keeping you conveniently close to town.
Inside, you'll find three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a welcoming living room featuring a cozy fireplace. A separate family room with an additional fireplace providing space for relaxing, entertaining, or gathering with family and friends. Since this home is on a crawl space, you will get the benefits of a main floor laundry area.
But there's even more to discover. The attached two-car garage includes additional flex space behind it, plus a storage area, with plenty of possibilities for a home office, hobby room, studio, game room, or additional storage. An additional detached two-car garage provides even more room for vehicles, recreational toys, a workshop, or all those extras you never seem to have enough space for.
With its acre-plus setting, multiple living spaces, abundant garage and storage space, and a location just minutes from Alpena, this is a property with plenty to offer.
And, of course, you'll be buying a home that many locals already recognize -- the famous Christmas Tree House on Werth Road.
-- a little piece of local history and a whole lot of opportunity.
