Some homes simply make life easier. Located just minutes from Silver Lake Elementary, this well-maintained 3-bedroom ranch offers a comfortable layout, thoughtful updates, and a backyard that feels like your own private retreat. Inside, youll find an updated kitchen, newer appliances, durable vinyl plank flooring, and a partially finished lower level offering two distinct spaces: a comfortable family room and a bonus room thats perfect for a home office, workout area, hobby room, playroom, or game room. Out back is where this home really comes to life. The spacious deck beneath the gazebo creates the perfect spot for morning coffee, summer barbecues, or quiet evenings outdoors. Complete with lighting, a Bluetooth speaker, and a privacy screen, the space was designed for making the most of Northern Michigan summers. The fully fenced backyard is surrounded by mature pines and arborvitae for added privacy, features a new 10x16 garden shed, and still leaves plenty of room to create the perfect fire pit area for evenings spent under the stars. Weekends are easy to fill with Blair Township Community Park just minutes away, offering pickleball, disc golf, and playgrounds. Grab an ice cream at Moomers, spend an afternoon kayaking or fishing at Bass Lake, or simply enjoy everything this convenient west-side location has to offer. From cozy nights in to long summer evenings outside, this is a home thats ready to be enjoyed.
