Awesome family home with 2 bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, and 2 generously sized bedrooms and full bath upstairs. A wood-burning fireplace sets the tone in the family room, which opens to a large deck with a sauna. There is also a separate living room. Lots of space for entertaining! The beautifully landscaped yard is fairly low maintenance. The 24 x 32 garage is heated and has a concrete floor. All of this is great, but what makes it better is the newer furnace, new well pump, and that the septic tank's been pumped. Everything is top-notch in this home. Call the Listing Agent for the Special Features sheet. It's too much to list here. The appliances will stay and so could the furniture. It doesn't need a thing and is ready to move in! Conveniently located in the hub of Ludington (45 min), Traverse City and Grand Rapids (1-1/4 hours either way) -- an easy commute on US131 or M37. Don't wait! Book your private showing today!
