A second full bath is combined with a the laundry, complemented by a tile floor and full tub/shower. Oversized one car garage with workshop area, mechanicals, and access to a root cellar (or could be a great wine cellar for those who enjoy buying cases from the local wineries!) The back yard features an 8x12 garden shed and perennial garden area that would love to be brought back to it's glory. There's a peek a boo view of Little Glen Lake, and with some selective trimming and cutting could be opened up a bit.

Just imagine the good times that could be had with almost an acre, with a mostly open sloping front yard, sledding, volleyball, throwing something, it spells F-U-N! Visiting Glen Arbor or Empire is a quick jaunt, The Homestead for winter skiing, dinners in or out!
