What a great house for the money! And it’s on five acres! I’m not a fan of carpet, but at least it is new and I bet there are hardwood floors underneath it. Built in 1865 in Manitou Beach, Michigan. Close to Devils Lake. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 2,464 square feet. $169,000

What I love about the home
My favorite things about this home include the new furnace, new water heater, new main floor carpet, new gutters and a completely new main floor full bathroom. The fireplace facade and amazingly detailed trim work throughout is breathtaking. We love that so much history has happened inside this spacious 1865 home that has a cement basement with ample storage.. The large home has two stairways, beautiful woodwork, a second balcony porch and a floor to ceiling beautiful pantry in the kitchen. There is 5 acres of land for snowmobiles, Cross county skiing or motor biking and a two stall garage and barn for storage. A lucky family is going to be able to enjoy relaxing county living. .
