Rare .65 acre Portage property with a heated, oversized 6-car garage with doors front and rear! Room to grow, room to work, and priced to move! The 2,058-square-foot main level offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, including a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and private bath, plus a family room with a fireplace. Upstairs, a full 1,899-square-foot second floor is already framed into 2 rooms, insulated with R-19 and wired, ready for you to finish. The daylight basement adds 2,131 square feet, partially finished with a built-in bar, cabinetry and a half bath. That's more than 6,000 square feet across three levels. The home needs updating and is priced to reflect it, so the next owner can finish it their way and build equity. Estate sale, sold as-is. Vacant and easy to show, with quick access to US-20, the Toll Road and the area's parks and trails.
