Description

Country living on 2 acres just 10 minutes SE of Petoskey in the Petoskey school district. The house was once a small farmhouse and was eventually added on to. It's been rented and in need of a facelift but it has good bones on a REALLY pretty two plus acres. This "handy man" special is being sold "as is" because there is work to do - and, it will not go FHA or VA. Two of the bedrooms are quite large, a third is good in size but you will want to reconfigure the door way as it's only about 2 feet wide. Note the multiple pantries as well as an office space to the left of the kitchen. There is also a large laundry plus storage room to the right of the kitchen. Roof is about 10 years old and furnace is about 6 years old. The Seller shared that there is a room in the attic that is accessed from a room in the basement via a ladder. It's part of the original building. This house is easy to show. At this price it won't last long.

5491 E Bear River Rd, Boyne Falls, MI 49713 is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1,500 sqft single-family home built in 1950. It last sold for $139,200 on Oct 21, 2020. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $258,200, with a rent estimate of $2,349/month.

"Ive lived here for almost 20 years. The area is full of good people mostly. People help each other as a way of life. and the view is nice with rolling hills and an old ski mountian out the back window. "

"Boyne Falls is a rural community, yet close to many amenities that make living here a great experience. Great neighbors, paved roads and close to lakes and rivers as well as hunting."
