Description
Nestled on a quiet street just moments from the heart of historic downtown Ishpeming, this classic two-story home balances 19th-century character with functional everyday living. Built in 1870, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom residence offers over 1,500 square feet of comfortable living space, making it an ideal choice for growing families, or first-time home buyers. Major updates have already been handled for your peace of mind, including vinyl siding, windows, and doors that were all replaced in 2006. More recently, the home received central air conditioning in 2015, a new roof in 2019, and a new high-efficiency furnace in 2023. Before stepping into the main living areas, you are welcomed by a beautiful, fully finished enclosed front porchan inviting space that is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, reading a book, or seamlessly transitioning into the home. Inside, you will find a flowing, traditional floor plan bathed in generous natural light, highlighting the home's beautiful turn-of-the-century woodwork and charming built-ins. The spacious living and dining areas offer a fantastic footprint for entertaining or simply relaxing after a day of exploring Marquette County's outdoor trails. The practical and well-proportioned kitchen is ready to serve as the heart of the home, featuring excellent recent appliance upgrades: a three-year-old refrigerator alongside a brand-new microwave and range installed just weeks ago. For added everyday ease, the layout includes highly sought-after main-floor laundry, along with a convenient half-bath perfectly positioned for guests. 3 spacious bedrooms with closets upstairs, all serviced by a large full bathroom. Staircase railings are 100% removable for easy furniture transitions. Full walk-up attic for loads of interior storage. Situated on a manageable 4,641-square-foot lot, the outdoor space provides plenty of room for a summer garden or a fire pit without the burden of endless weekend maintenance. Entertaining is a breeze thanks to a large outdoor rear deck, complete with a SunSetter awning that provides the perfect shaded oasis for summer barbecues or peaceful evening relaxation. Another massive highlight of the property is the impressive 26-by-30-foot (2.5 car) garage, built in 2010 and approached by a fully paved concrete driveway. This fantastic setup offers abundant off-street parking, room for vehicles, and extra space for a workshop or secure storage for your U.P. snowmobiles, ATVs, and recreational gear. The true standout of this property, however, is its unbeatable location. You will enjoy living just blocks away from the scenic views and walking paths of Lake Bancroft, while also being minutes from the Al Quaal Recreation Area, the Iron Ore Heritage Trail, and world-class U.P. hiking and skiing. Furthermore, it is just a short stroll or drive to Ishpeming’s local cafes, boutique shops, grocers, and community schools.
