Are you looking for a fixer upper with some acerage out in the country but yet centrally located? This charming little farm house on 5 acres is it! Located in Alden just minutes to Alden, Kalkaska, Torch Lake and Traverse City is a quick 20 minutes. The kitchen is a new addition with vaulted ceilings and a functional layout. It has been tastefully done with granite countertops and LVP flooring. Stainless steel appliances, plenty of storage including the ''pan wall'' by the back door(clever idea)! The rest of the house is in need of a makeover. The homeowners are currently working on a few things before the sale, new drywall, ceiling repair, finishing trim, fresh paint, a rail for the stairway and other various things. The two bedrooms are nonconforming as they do not have closets.
