Updated, Spacious & Move-In Ready. Welcome to this beautifully refreshed home with an impressive list of updates and an unbeatable location! Step inside to a bright, freshly painted interior where you'll find a thoughtfully updated kitchen (2020) with modern appliances and updated electrical. Since 2022, much of the flooring has been replaced throughout the home, and both bathrooms now feature stylish new fixtures, updated flooring, and spacious vanities. The main floor offers a comfortable living room with peek-a-boo views of the canal from both the porches and living room, which becomes a spectacular evening scene of the Houghton nighttime skyline. The living room furniture will remain, making your move-in even easier. A standout feature is the main floor laundry room—both beautiful and functional—with a laundry sink and freezer. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms with closets, plus a charming smaller room that’s ideal as a home office, nursery, or walk-in closet. Outside, enjoy the deep backyard with retaining walls and a cozy patio area for summer evenings. This home is just a minute from Mont Ripley Ski Hill and less than 10 minutes to Michigan Tech, downtown Houghton, trails for hiking, biking, and snowmobiling, plus shopping and restaurants.
