Welcome to A Peaceful Houghton Lake Retreat! Set on two beautifully wooded lots in the desirable Houghton Lake Forest Estates subdivision, this impeccably maintained ranch-style home blends comfort, space, and nature — all just minutes from downtown Houghton Lake, the lake itself, and every amenity you need for daily life or weekend getaways. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1,600 square feet all on one level, this home features a welcoming layout that includes two living areas—a traditional living room and a versatile family room with a natural gas stove, ideal for cozy evenings, a home office, or bonus seating. The dining room opens to the spacious backyard through a sliding glass door, leading to a gated generous deck with gazebo—offering both seclusion for your pets or little ones and the perfect spot to grill, entertain, or unwind under the trees. The large backyard is a dream for families, pet owners, and outdoor lovers alike. A standout feature is the well-appointed breezeway connecting the home to the heated two-stall garage—ideal as a mudroom, sunroom, or additional living space, with entrances to both the front and back yards. Home is wired for a house generator (just plug in-generator is not included) , water softener (owned), central air, and forced heat enhance everyday comfort, while a laundry room just off the kitchen adds practicality. The private master suite offers a garden tub, walk-in shower, and dedicated closet. A brand-new 24x12 garden shed (July 2024) provides plenty of storage for your riding mower, landscaping tools, and gardening essentials. Outside, enjoy a concrete paved driveway and beautiful landscaping that adds charm and curb appeal. Efficient, beautifully maintained, and move-in ready, this home delivers the best of up-north living with a short commute to all of Houghton Lake’s shopping, dining, and recreation. ?? Furnishings are negotiable—just bring your personal touch and settle in!
