The main floor includes eat-in kitchen and living room with fireplace and bathroom. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms. This location provides peaceful country living in Portage Township just minutes from Otter Lake and other recreational activities. Lots of wildlife in the area as well. The location also provides convenience to Baraga/L'Anse as well as the Houghton area. There is some opportunity for your sweat-equity as there are repairs and updates needed. The crawlspace and cinder block piers suffered some damage in the 2018 Father’s Day flood event and there are also water damage and roof repairs needed. Home hasn’t been occupied as a year-round home as this was used as more of a cottage. The seller is a non-occupant trustee and does not have a lot of information about the property. Property is being sold as-is and seller prefers offers where the buyer will accept any personal property or other items remaining at the time of closing (except for tractor and mower; which will be sold separately). Seller does have a few other items to remove still. Utilities will not be functioning for an inspection. Heat: Oil Forced Air (one duct on main floor and one upstairs). Kitchen stove uses propane. NOTICE: All information believed accurate but not warranted. Buyer recommended to inspect & verify all aspects of the property & bares all risks for any inaccuracies including but not limited to estimated acreage, lot location/size, square footage, utilities (availability & costs associated). Lot dimensions are estimated as property has not been re-surveyed since road changed. Real estate taxes are subject to change (possibly significant) & municipality reassessment after sale. Buyer should NOT assume that buyer’s tax bills will be similar to the seller’s current tax bills. Audio/video recording devices are present on the exterior of the property and entering the property shall be considered consent to be recorded. OFFERS: 72 hours response time requested on offers. Seller, at seller's sole discretion, with or without notice, reserves the right to set and/or modify offer submission & response deadlines.
