Welcome to this character-filled 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home in Ripley, just moments from Hancock and Houghton. With approximately 1,350 square feet of living space, this home offers an ideal blend of convenience and relaxed township living—close to town, yet with that quieter countryside feel and lower township taxes. Trail enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the #3 ATV/snowmobile trail, putting four-season recreation practically at your doorstep. Step inside to high ceilings, warm woodwork, and inviting charm throughout. The bright enclosed front porch is a welcoming space to sit relax and sip your morning coffee while. The main level layout is comfortable and practical, with spaces that feel open yet cozy. This home also includes an unfinished attic that offers potential for additional storage or possible future expansion. The property is currently used as a residence but with its desirable location and past use as a rental, it could also be well-suited as an income-producing rental. Outside, the backyard is now fully fence, great for added privacy and enjoyment. A nice-sized back deck and established firepit area create a wonderful setting for relaxing or gathering. The basement provides extra storage and workshop space, and there is ample off-street parking plus a detached large workshop for tools, toys, or hobby space. If you’ve been looking for a property that combines charm, functionality, and a convenient location near city amenities and recreational opportunities, this Ripley home deserves a closer look.
