Five wooded acres, just 1.2 miles from downtown Bellaire. This 3 bedroom ranch sits on a level parcel with plenty of room to spread out. Enjoy the space of the country with coffee shops and groceries a few minutes away. Intermediate Lake is just around the corner. Gorham Beach Park, with a public beach and launch, is a 3 minute drive. The DNR boat launch on Openo Road is 6 minutes. A living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining room, three bedrooms and a full bath make for easy main floor living. In the kitchen, the island seats four and is an ideal spot for breakfast or for keeping the cook company. Off the back of the house is a sunroom. Glass walls and a glass roof let the light pour in, with a ceiling fan and lights overhead and the backyard with trees surrounding you. Pull up a chair with your morning coffee or a good book and watch for wildlife that wanders through. The finished lower level doubles your living space. You'll find a second wood-burning fireplace, a built-in bar, a 3/4 bath and a spacious room for game nights, movie nights or the whole crew at the holidays. Take a close look at the light fixtures in the sunroom and the lower level. They came from a local Carnegie Library and are a piece of history worth keeping. Then there's the outside. A 36 x 56 insulated pole building with a wood stove, power and a concrete floor. Room for a workshop, the boat, the toys or all three, plus storage in the back. A remote-controlled gate secures the back drive with the pole building and the rest of the property. There’s also an insulated, heated 2 car garage with a half bath and room for a third car or extra storage. A couple of sheds hold the yard gear. Built in 1966 on 12-inch block basement walls, this home has been well cared for. It's solid and ready for a new owner to bring their own updates and make it theirs. Room to breathe. Room to play. Room to work. All with Bellaire right down the road.
