Tastefully updated chalet-style home on nearly 3 acres along the Tittabawassee River! Tucked away on a private drive in an upscale neighborhood, this beautiful property offers year-round living or the perfect seasonal escape. The home sits high above the river—no flood insurance required—and features water views from both the elevated balcony and walk-out lower patio. Inside, you'll find 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a finished lower-level family room. Outside amenities include a large heated & insulated finished detached garage/barn, a generous riverside fire pit area framed by wood posts and nautical rope, and plenty of space to relax or entertain. The setting offers privacy, peace, and access to the neighborhood boat launch just around the corner. A unique riverfront opportunity you won’t want to miss!
