The kitchen provides abundant wood cabinetry and workspace, while three bedrooms keep everything conveniently located on one level.

Morning coffee, a reading area, plants, hobbies or simply a place to enjoy the changing Michigan seasons there's plenty of room to decide what this space becomes for you. The partial basement is another major asset. Rather than being packed wall-to-wall with somebody else's stuff, the open basement lets you actually see what you're getting.
