About this House

BEAUTIFUL 5.45 ACRE SETTING ON M-72 EAST! Great little starter home, 2BR, 1BA, partial basement and tucked in a nicely wooded setting for privacy!! Older home, but cute as a button! Original hardwood floors, super nice breezeway from the attached garage so no reason to go out in the weather when you get home from a long day at work! Includes a one room outbuilding could be a shop, remodeled into a small rental unit, or bunk house for guests. Entire property has nice tall bushes to offer some privacy, wonderful shade trees and plenty of room behind the house for a garden, hunting, entertaining or for the kids to play. Great location for a small in-home business.

    "Most people don’t pick up after their dogs while walking them. This is a common complaint in the area. Some people will clean up after their dog then throw it in your trash bin by the side of the road. That’s even worse!"
