It's a blue-sided beauty! Be the "blue house on the east side of the road" in this peaceful area of Lakefield Township. The two bedroom gem sits on a nice, partially wooded 1.88-acre lot in Merrill Schools and it has the perfect amount of space to stretch out, garden, play, or just breathe in that fresh Michigan air. With just over 1,000 square feet, this stick-built home features cathedral ceilings, a sizable kitchen, nice living room and laundry/utility room. Think “just right" as the inside is simple and sweet. It's not too big, not too small, but full of potential. Step outside into the garage and it's big, useful and likely could become your favorite spot. It doesn't only protect the vehicles from those frigid Michigan winters, it can also be a template for the dream workshop you’ve been imagining. If you’re looking for a quiet slice of life with space to roam and a home that doesn’t try too hard, this might be your match. Country vibes, big garage energy, and just the right amount of house makes the blue-sided beauty hard to match!
