About This Home

531 S Houghton

SPACE, PRIVACY & AN AMAZING IN-TOWN LOCATION! Welcome home to this move-in-ready 5-bedroom, 2-bath ranch situated on an oversized .80-acre lot in beautiful Lake City. Located just a couple blocks from Lake City Area Schools, beautiful Lake Missaukee and downtown Lake City, you’re close to the beach, parks, shopping, dining and everyday conveniences while still enjoying a peaceful, private setting. From the moment you arrive, the beautiful covered porch welcomes you home, surrounded by established perennial gardens, mature bushes and colorful plantings that create wonderful curb appeal throughout the seasons. Imagine enjoying your morning coffee on the porch while taking in the gardens and peaceful surroundings. Garden lovers will appreciate the care that has gone into the outdoor spaces, along with a large garden area and its own dedicated irrigation well to help keep everything thriving. Step inside to a warm and inviting home that has been thoughtfully updated with an updated kitchen and bathrooms, new roof, new windows, new patio door, updated tile and flooring, plus fresh paint and new trim throughout. A cozy wood-burning fireplace is perfect for those Northern Michigan evenings. The main level offers three bedrooms, while the lower level has been finished to include a family room and two additional legal conforming bedrooms with egress windows, creating a functional 5-bedroom home with room for family, guests, a home office or hobbies. The remaining basement provides a dedicated laundry area along with plenty of storage and utility space. The spacious backyard borders wooded city-owned property, offering a private natural backdrop with room to entertain, play or simply relax. The home is served by municipal water and sewer, and an attached 2-stall garage adds storage and everyday convenience. Nearly an acre in the city, beautiful perennial gardens, a welcoming covered porch, five bedrooms, numerous updates and a private wooded setting—all just blocks from town.
