    Move-in-ready 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offering approximately 1,380 finished square feet in a convenient Houghton location!

The result is a bright, comfortable interior with abundant natural light and LED lighting throughout. The main floor features a welcoming living room, updated kitchen with newer cabinetry and appliances, cheerful dining area, convenient laundry, pantry space, and a versatile office or den. Upstairs are three bedrooms with newer carpeting and a nicely updated bathroom. A large walk-up attic provides excellent storage and offers plenty of potential for future use. The insulated front entry opens to an inviting porch featuring low-maintenance Trex decking and LED-accented railings. A sidewalk leads to the cozy backyard and a detached shed equipped with electricity and a wood stove, creating additional possibilities for storage, hobbies, or workshop space. Additional features include a Nest smart thermostat and a practical layout that makes excellent use of the home’s space. Enjoy convenient access to downtown Houghton, Michigan Technological University, and the city’s waterfront recreation corridor, including its paved trail, parks, dining, shopping, and scenic views of the Keweenaw Waterway. • OFFERS: Please allow 72 hours for a response to any offers.
