This 4 bedroom, 1 bath home is in such a great spot for those who love being close to downtown. Just a few blocks away, you can easily venture to all of Manistee's favorites- shops, coffee spots, restaurants, the movie theater, and more. One of the best parts? You can catch views of Manistee Lake right from your living room window, and even watch boats and freighters coming in and out of the marina. The home has had some nice updates, including central air and new laminate flooring, while still keeping its character. There is a touch of knotty pine throughout the home with many built-ins, and a cedar closet to add a cozy, classic feel that's hard to find. Outside, there's a detached garage, a fenced-in yard, and a cement patio area-perfect for relaxing or having people over in the warmer months. If you've been looking for a place that has charm, a view, and close to downtown, this one is definitely worth checking out!
