101 Kirkpatrick Ave, Palmer, MI, 49871
About This Home
Located just 15 minutes from Marquette, this versatile property in the heart of Palmer blends residential comfort, income potential, and business-ready infrastructure. Currently operating as a licensed adult foster care home, it offers a rare opportunity for a turnkey continuation—or for conversion to another use such as a guest lodge, multi-unit rental, or spacious personal residence. With over 3,600 square feet of finished living area, the home provides eight bedrooms and three full baths spread across three levels. The main floor features six bedrooms and two baths with common living and dining areas designed for accessibility and flow. Upstairs, a private two-bedroom, one-bath owner’s suite offers independence and flexibility. The partially finished lower level includes an additional bedroom, living space, and office area—ideal for staff, extended-stay guests, or other support functions. A heated 24x48 attached garage with 220 power adds serious value for storage or workshop needs. The corner lot along M-35 offers excellent visibility and easy year-round access, with paved parking and utilities already in place. Appliances and furnishings are included, supporting a smooth handoff for continued licensed use or a fresh start for your next vision. Palmer’s location adds even more appeal—close to Negaunee and Ishpeming, and just minutes from Marquette’s medical district and Northern Michigan University. Looking ahead, the Michigan DNR’s new snowmobile and recreation trail connection will reach Palmer in 2026, only one block from this property, positioning it perfectly for seasonal guests and outdoor enthusiasts. Functional, flexible, and ready for what’s next—101 Kirkpatrick Avenue offers the space, zoning, and setup to make almost any plan possible.
