Property Description
This beautifully updated home offers the perfect blend of modern upgrades and timeless charm! Major improvements completed approximately seven years ago include the roof, windows, furnace, central air conditioning, water heater, electrical wiring, and PEX plumbing, providing peace of mind for years to come. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors throughout, elegant crown molding, and a beautifully remodeled kitchen completed just 1.5 years ago. A new attic staircase provides easy access to additional storage, while thoughtful design touches create a warm and inviting feel. Relax on the covered front porch with your morning coffee or unwind on the covered back porch while overlooking the spacious backyard. Situated on approximately 0.50 acres, the property features a detached two-car garage plus an additional garage with electricity, perfect for a workshop, hobby space, extra storage, or even a home gym. The fully fenced backyard is a gardener's dream, featuring a mini orchard with apple, pear, cherry, and plum trees, along with grapevines, raspberry bushes, and plenty of room to expand your garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Conveniently located near a boat launch for easy access to the Saginaw River, this home combines major updates, versatile outdoor space, and thoughtful details throughout. Don't miss your opportunity to make it yours!
