This charming home has been in the family for generations, cared for and well maintained through the years. The setting is picture-perfect as you come up the driveway, with a newer 3-car detached garage, a vintage cabin, and a 30x40 pole barn framing the approach to the house, which sits well back from the road. Inside, the living room is anchored by a brick wood stove insert and opens easily to the dining room and kitchen, keeping the main floor connected and easy to live in. Wood floors warm the living room underfoot. The back entry includes a spacious laundry room with windows that bring in natural light, along with a half bath. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, a private primary bedroom offers its own retreat, complete with an elevated deck overlooking the property. The newer 28 x 36 three-car detached garage adds everyday storage and workspace, while the 30 x 40 pole barn brings two 12-foot doors and an Afton stone floor—built for equipment, vehicles, or hobby use. A 15 x 20 vintage cabin with basement rounds out the outbuildings, currently used for storage with an attached 15 x 20 barn that used to hold horses, with plenty of possibilities beyond its current use. The land itself spans just over 17 acres of open and wooded ground, with a mix of maple, cedar, apple, and pear trees throughout. Just minutes from downtown Cheboygan and the river, the property holds a genuinely private feel while keeping everything nearby within easy reach. Natural gas and Spectrum internet. This is truly a must-see to appreciate the offering!
