Opportunity awaits at this one-story brick ranch on .89 acres in German Township! With 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, approximately 2,070 square feet, and a two-car attached garage, this home offers generous space and a country setting feel close to shopping, restaurants, and major roads. A front living room, family room, dining area, main-floor laundry, and spacious four-season room provide plenty of options for everyday living. Outside, enjoy mature trees, a patio, and a partially fenced backyard backing to the Villas of Lake Blackthorn. Documented improvements include replacement windows (2012), a roof installed by Gean Roofing (2017) and attic insulation, water softener, and well bladder tank updates in 2020. The gas furnace serving the four-season room is approximately one year old. The septic system was last pumped in 2024. Records for several improvements are available. The home needs repairs and cosmetic updating. Hardwood flooring beneath portions of the carpeting offers additional renovation potential. An opportunity for an investor or buyer prepared to take on a renovation project, with convenient access to the Toll Road, bypass, Michigan state line, and approximately six miles to the University of Notre Dame.
