Tucked into a peaceful, rural setting just minutes from town, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom ranch offers the best of both worlds: wide-open country feel with the convenience of nearby amenities and walking-distance from local trails. A new roof is already in place and updates are underway, giving the next owner a head start on renovations. Step through the front door and you're welcomed directly into the eat-in kitchen, complete with a walk-in pantry for all your storage needs. A back door leads to a practical mud room connecting to the kitchen, perfect for shedding boots and coats before heading further into the home. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a light-filled living room, the natural hub of the home. From the living room, you'll find easy access to both bedrooms, the full bathroom, a dedicated utility room with laundry space, and access to the attic for additional storage. Just outside the front door, an exterior entrance leads down to the Michigan basement where you'll find the fuse box, and with all utilities running underground, the exterior stays clean and hassle-free. Outside, enjoy spacious front and back yards, with the backyard fully enclosed by chain-link fencing, ideal for pets or play. A 12x10 shed provides extra storage for yard equipment, and the seller is leaving behind several helpful extras, including a riding mower, snowplow, window AC units, and leftover materials from recent updates. Park with ease in the 2.5-car garage and paved driveway. With its rural charm and proximity to town and trails, this ranch is a rare find for buyers looking to put down roots and add their personal touch. Schedule your showing today!
