TWO blocks from Houghton Lake, the location of this 4 bedroom/3 bath home is just ideal for the Up North life. Also within a few blocks are the local café, ice cream shop, waterfront beach parks with pavilion, picnic areas and playground, golf course, and pickleball/tennis courts. If this is a vacation home, you could park the car once you arrive and enjoy the area on foot or bike. Grab a lawn chair and walk to Trestle Park for one of their free outdoor summer concerts. This split ranch sets on a large 150x103 corner lot and offers nicely sized rooms throughout including a 14x11 primary suite with a 7x14 bath!

This 15x23 heated area is set up as an office with cabinetry already, but it could also be used as an overflow sleeping area, tiki bar, she-shed, etc.....
