Tucked in one of Manistee's established neighborhoods, this three-bedroom home, with one and a half baths, is near the historic downtown, the riverwalk, and Lake Michigan. The upstairs bedrooms have enough room to move with the master bedroom being quite spacious; each with plenty of closet space, with the half-bath nearby. Inside, hardwood floors flow through the main living spaces, complemented by generous natural light from its many windows. The living room centers around a cozy layout perfect for Michigan winters, while the adjoining dining area offers plenty of room to gather. The kitchen retains its old-house charm with room to update to your taste and style. Outside, the enclosed backyard offers privacy and space for pets. The garage, with its wood heater, is quite spacious and a huge plus during Michigan's winter months. The home does need some TLC, which includes some plaster work and a fresh coat of paint to suit your style. 1: The seller's disclosure does not mention central air - There is no central air. 2: This home requires a little TLC - There is a cracked window in the vesibule area and a few sections, as exampled in the photos, that require plaster work. 3: The house is occupied and can easily be lived in while the aformentioned repairs are conducted. 4: The garage has a barrel heater/wood stove.
