137 Center Street

If you know Elk Rapids, you know why people fight to get in. This little village on the bay has something that’s genuinely hard to find anymore: a real downtown you can walk to, water everywhere you look, neighbors who actually know your name, and a pace of life that reminds you what matters. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home puts you right in the middle of all of it. The layout gives you real flexibility. A generous bonus room handles whatever life throws at you, whether that’s a home office, a guest room for the friends who will absolutely want to visit, a playroom, or a hobby space. The fully fenced backyard is a genuine sanctuary, perfect for summer gatherings, a garden, or just a quiet evening outside after a day on the water. The two-car garage gives you all the room you need for the kayaks, bikes, skis, and gear that come with living up here. And the location within the village is hard to beat. Schools, grocery, the bay, the boat launch, the farmers market, downtown dining… it’s all close. That’s the thing about Elk Rapids: once you’re here, you don’t want to leave, and you certainly don’t want to drive far for anything. The home also carries a strong rental history for investors looking for proven income in a market where demand stays consistently high year-round. Elk Rapids doesn’t have a lot of inventory. When something comes available here, it moves. This is that opportunity.
