Welcome to the heart of historic Idlewild! This charming home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in one of Michigan's most storied communities. Set on six lots, the property provides space, character, and easy access to the area's natural beauty, arts, and culture. Whether you're seeking a year-round residence, weekend retreat, or investment, this home is ready to be enjoyed and personalized. The home is built with solid cinder block construction and features three bedrooms, one full bathroom, and laundry hook-up on the main level for convenience. A spacious eat-in kitchen pairs nicely with the large living room, while vinyl windows bring in natural light throughout. The three-season porch adds a relaxing spot to enjoy the surroundings, and touches of hardwood flooring add warmth and charm. A full basement offers plenty of storage or hobby space, while the one-car garage with a new roof provides practical utility for vehicles or tools. With six lots included, there's room to expand, garden, or simply enjoy the extra space. Idlewild itself is rich in history as an arts and cultural destination where musicians, writers, and performers gathered. Today, the community is surrounded by the Manistee National Forest, offering more than 540,000 acres of recreation, trails, and wildlife. Dozens of nearby lakes  including Idlewild Lake, Paradise Lake, and Big Star Lake  provide fishing, boating, and year-round outdoor enjoyment. You'll also find art exhibits, music festivals, and community events that celebrate the area's unique heritage. The location is convenient as well, with drive times of about three hours from Chicago or Detroit, 90 minutes from Grand Rapids, and around two hours from Lansing. This home captures the spirit of Idlewild and its natural surroundings while offering practical updates and timeless charm.
