Residenza Unifamiliare A Hancock

Wow, wow, wow–what a view! The views from the entire back wrap-around porch are stunning and you see for 10s of miles! This 4 bedroom home with 3 full bathrooms and 1 half bath in over 3,700 finished square feet was designed to take in the “valley” views of the Portage Canal and Lake and the surrounding hillsides across the water. The almost one acre lot and location on a low traffic, dead end street add to the enjoyment of this home. From the welcoming front porch the main entry opens into a huge open dining, living, and kitchen area. The main floor includes the open kitchen with a massive island/snack bar, pantry, living room with electric fireplace, and dining area. To the right is primary bedroom suite with the same south facing views to forever, a walk thru closet and large bathroom with glass shower. To the left off the kitchen is a larger half bath and the laundry/mudroom. Both the living area and laundry room have direct access to the rear facing covered deck that wraps around the east side of the home. Again, the views from the porch and deck are absolutely stunning–the deck is built super strong and covered with a no maintenance Trex type decking. The larger 2-car attached garage has direct access from the mudroom. On the upper level there are 2 formal bedrooms (one with walk-in closet), huge bonus room (could be 4th bedroom, no closet or family room/office) and full bathroom. The walk-out basement was recently finished by the sellers and offers a large open family room space with a connected, open workout area (featuring a softer rubber style flooring). There are two larger storage rooms for mechanicals and everything you need to store inside. The west end of the basement is a beautiful, large bathroom and wood lined electric sauna. The sauna was built by local Finns and heats very quickly. The walk-out lower level has a paver patio at ground level. All in all, the basement build-out was done well and fits the rest of the home perfectly. Other features of the home include very high ceilings on the main and lower levels, ridiculous volumes of natural light, engineered hardwood flooring and acrylic solid surface countertops over soft-close cabinets in the kitchen. The exterior is wrapped in LP Smartside siding. Newer additions to this home include a concrete driveway, ground level patio, grading and hydroseeding the lawn, rock landscaping, and recent ground cover mulch & plantings. The location is very conveniently located to UPHealth System-Portage, and just a few miles from Michigan Tech, local schools and shopping. The home was completed in 2022. Flooring is mostly engineered hardwood with some ceramic tile, vinyl, and carpet depending on the room. Seller is including existing kitchen appliances and a bonus refrigerator and small freezer in the garage, as well as the murphy wall bed in an upstairs bedroom. There are very simple restrictive covenants limiting the property to single family residential use.
