About this House

Charming ranch style home, would make the perfect up north get away home and has great income generating potential. Nicely located near the base of the east side of Inspiration Point/Burdickville Hill and, just down the street from a point of public access to a National Park owned vacant parcel on Big Glen. This "not so big house" is well built and features a nice galley style kitchen, large living/dining area with a gas fireplace, two bedrooms, full bath with tub shower, half bath with laundry, and family room that could be used as an office/den or for over flow company. Large one car attached garage and garden shed, with room to construct an additional garage/storage building if desired. Full unfinished basement to store your extra belongings, would make a great shop/studio space. Nice yard with diversity in trees, antique apple, maples, pines, and poplar, with plenty of open land to garden or play yard games. A glimpse of Big Glen too from inside and the front deck, appropriately named "The Escape Hatch", come and get away from it all! Great biking and hiking, close to The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore property west up MacFarlane, or south down Plowman Road/Echo Valley Road; a recreation home base! Furnishings are negotiable to possibly make this a great turn key opportunity!

This school has been in our family for a long time begining with my husband right on through our three daughters. It is a small school, average graduating class number 75, which has made it able to accomplish close communication with parents and students.
