About This Home
Welcome to your new home within walking distance to the Michigan Tech campus and downtown Houghton. Beautifully remodeled using quality materials and thoughtful design, it is move-in ready. You'll appreciate the large corner lot with garden areas, two patios, a deck, and a convenient detached double garage. Enter a heated foyer with a roomy coat closet. Proceed inside to an attractive, comfortable living room featuring a gas fireplace with ceramic tile, oak mantle, and shelves. A small office is just off the living room. The dining room has a unique inlay and a sliding glass door to the private deck. The kitchen features a large island and plenty of cherry cabinets. Rounding out the main level is a 1/2 bath. Downstairs is a walkout basement, insulated and partly finished. Upstairs, a spacious landing opens onto three nicely sized bedrooms. One bedroom even has a solid maple built-in twin bed. A bright full bath with a separate tub and corner walk-in shower completes this level. An attractive, solid oak ladder takes you to the finished attic: a great place for hobbies, a teen hangout, or what have you. It adds approximately 200 square feet (not included in the total finished area as shown above). Schedule a showing of this beautiful East Houghton home today for the opportunity to make it your own.
