Hygge: a cozy quality that makes a person feel content and comfortable. This charming A-frame is a stone’s throw from Marquette Mountain, minutes from Marquette, and just about as hygge as they come. The front of the home is nearly all windows, filling the open kitchen, dining, and living spaces with natural light and putting the abundant trees and rock faces on display. Inside are wood floors, a gorgeous wood-burning stone fireplace, and a spiral staircase leading to the loft. Two bedrooms and a 3/4 bath are on the main floor, while the loft is home to the primary bedroom, a full bath with jetted tub, built-in storage, a reading area, and its own deck overlooking the woods. Recent improvements include a new water heater, new shower, built-ins in the loft bedroom, new flooring, fresh paint, and home automation upgrades that the next owner will be able to tap into. Outside, there’s a large front deck, a fire pit among the rocks and trees, plenty of thimbleberries, and a two-car garage with loft storage. Hiking and biking trails, cross-country skiing, and snowmobile trails are all nearby. You get the woods and character that make living in the U.P. so special while staying incredibly close to town. Plus, Sands Township taxes are significantly more affordable than many surrounding municipalities. The sellers are offering a $3,000 credit at closing to go toward further updates that a buyer may want to do to the home. It’s cute as can be, a little rustic, and definitely not another cookie cutter house. Schedule your showing today!
