Inside and out, every aspect of this 4 bed, 3 full baths Portage Township split level home is amazing! Touring is required to truly feel how special this home and it's outdoor living area is. Checkout the associated documents to view the lengthy list of updates and upgrades that have been done. One example is updated triple pane krypton filled windows to maximize thermal efficiency. When you pull up to the home you will notice the natural hedge in front, the huge detached garage to supplement the attached garage, and the concrete driveway with a drain system. The siding on the home is a high density California redwood. Inside you will find an open and inviting main floor living area, tasteful updates, and ample natural light. The main floor boasts a sizable living room, an elegant kitchen, the family room with a video/movie projector, two wood fireplaces, the dining area, and a rear door onto the back deck. Stepping out the back door you will be impressed once again. Here you will find a seating area, hot tub, and a super impressive wood burning sauna. Off the deck is a patio/fire pit area and the spacious and private back yard. In the back yard there is a vegetable and herb garden along with loads of fruit trees and plants (3 apple trees, 2 plum trees, 3 pear trees, 6 blueberry bushes, blackcurrant bushes, 2 honey berry bushes, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, grape vines around gazebo, and sweet grape vines in the garden). You own from one street to the next, which one can really feel when you walk the large backyard. Back inside, on the lower level, with it's own separate entrance, there is a freshly remodeled one bedroom, one bath apartment or guest suite, complete with a kitchen and a washer and dryer. The apartment is approximately 16'x24', and it is completely separate from the rest of the homes living area. It could be used for income to offset mortgage or living expenses (currently setup as an Airbnb). On the upper level of the home you have the large master suite to your left with another full bathroom and a large closet. A full bathroom separates the master from the other two bedrooms. In the partially finished basement you will find a workshop room, a large carpeted area great for more living or playing room, the utility room, and an electric sauna (needs to be finished, will be prior to closing). Appreciate the benefit of this awesome location next to Michigan Tech University, while having lower taxes with Portage Township. One of the wood fireplaces is a Napoleon high efficiency wood insert, which circulates the hot air several times before going into the chimney. It also has two adjustable blowers installed to move warm air around the room. The electrical range could easily be converted to natural gas if one preferred a gas range. Financial information on rental could be available with a non disclosure agreement assigned.
