8900 Old Mead Rd, Houghton Lake, MI 48629

OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY, JUNE 13TH FROM 11:00-1:00!!! This inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home puts you close to the water without the waterfront price tag, approximately 50 yards from public landing access to the Muskegon River. With thoughtful updates and a layout that lives comfortably day to day, it is an easy place to settle in, spread out, and enjoy every season Michigan brings. The home offers 3 bedrooms, a bonus room that flexes for hobbies, work, or overflow guests, along with 2 full baths to keep mornings moving smoothly. The kitchen and dining room feature luxury vinyl plank flooring installed in 2023, and the kitchen has been completely updated with a stainless steel sink with garbage disposal, plus stove, refrigerator, and microwave already in place. Fresh interior paint ties everything together, while a new entry door and storm door (2024) add a crisp first impression. Comfort and practicality continue behind the scenes. Downstairs heating is handled by 2 gas wall heaters, with electric heat upstairs, and the dining room heater was installed in 2022. The living room heater was serviced in 2025, and a Rinnai gas heater (2024) supports everyday routines. City sewer service, an artisan well, and a Generac backup generator add peace of mind for year-round use. The 2-car garage gives you valuable storage for vehicles, gear, and weekend projects. Major exterior updates include a home roof updated in 2018, a new garage roof in 2023, and gutters with gutter guards added in 2023, helping reduce seasonal maintenance so you can focus more on time outside and less on the to-do list. With river access so close, it is easy to picture quick launches, casual afternoons near the water, and coming home to a place that feels both practical and getaway-ready.
