Open House Sunday July 5th from 10am to 12 Noon! Looking for easy-care one-level living? Come tour this move-in ready ranch circled by lush ferns and thigh high blueberry bushes on Lakewood Lane in Chocolay Township. Step into the cozy living room with a wood stove to warm you on chilly nights. Use this quiet space to work on crafts or settle in with a book. Or maybe you're in the mood for sunshine? The kitchen and dining area face south for day-long light. A patio door leads to a 12x12 deck, perfect spot to soak some sun and listen to bird song because the native plants make this private back yard seem like a nature preserve. The family room bay window is ideal for plants, as well as keeping an eye on the bird feeders.Two bedrooms and 2 baths fill the west end of the house along with a convenient main-level laundry. Storage galore in the full basement. The attached 2-car garage offers more storage and if you like to tinker, or need even more room for toys and tools, there's an extra 19x15 workshop or garage with a wood burning sauna in back. Weave through the ferns and under the pines to the adjoining Iron Ore Heritage Trail where you can hike, bike, ski or snowmobile east to Kawbawgam and west over the Chocolay River into Marquette. If you're feeling adventurous take the trail the full 47.8 miles to Republic. Plus, come mid-February, this backyard along the trail makes the best spot to cheer on the UP 200 mushers. Come take a look for yourself. But do it soon. All offers due July 8, at 3 pm.
