Property Description
Thoughtful upgrades and maintenance combine to create a reliable, comfortable home designed for year-round enjoyment and long-term living. Situated on a prime corner lot, the property features three mature shade trees and a large established conifer complemented by a new 2026 privacy fence. The fence provides privacy along the bedroom and backyard side while preserving an open front yard and easy outdoor maintenance. Sunny and open areas offer opportunities for flowers, herbs, or a private vegetable garden. A new outdoor spigot makes watering convenient. The exterior was also fully stained in November 2023. Location is a highlight. Turn left from the front door and you are just one block from the newly updated Draver Park, pavilion and ballfield, Big Bay Post Office and Big Bay Pathway Trailhead. Continue approximately six blocks to Bay Cliff Health Camp, the harbor and marina, and Mino Kwe Jiigibiik public beach on Lake Superior, featuring wheelchair access, new boardwalks, picnic areas and trails, historic Burns Landing, renovated LeClair Cabin and the new beach pavilion. Turn right and you are one block from the township school, newly resurfaced ball courts and tennis/pickleball courts. Within approximately one mile are the fire hall, town hall, laundromat, general store, ice cream shop, produce stand, gas station, Lumberjack Tavern, Perkins Park campground and public beach on Lake Independence, plus the 550 Snowmobile Club and winter trail access. The main county road to Marquette was recently resurfaced and is heavily maintained year -round. Inside, the functional layout was updated with aging-in-place in mind. A wheelchair ramp is integrated into the front deck, while continuous matching flooring eliminates unnecessary transitions. The bathroom features a 6-inch step-in shower with slip-resistant natural stone, three heavy-duty grab bars and a comfort-height toilet. The utility room includes modern washer/dryer hookups and added utility sink and shelves. Important improvements include full attic insulation, a hot water tank closet with drain pan, re-plumbed interior and a new main sewer line from the home to the street with two exterior inspection/access valves. A one-year-old whole-house automatic generator and full HVAC system with integrated air cleaner provide additional comfort and peace of mind.
