4281 Gratiot Ave, Fort Gratiot, MI, 48059

A charming 1955 solidly built, all brick ranch offers low maintenance and cool summers with a “peek-a-boo” view of the lake from the living room! The mid-century décor includes curved archways, alcove ceilings, glass blocks, ceramic tile, hard-wood floors, cedar-lined closets in the bedrooms, and multiple built-in storage cabinets including drawers for linens and a corner curio in the dining room. The hardwood floors throughout plus the French tile & marble thresholds in the kitchen and baths offer additional charm. The efficient kitchen provides granite countertops, and stainless appliances. The third bedroom is currently a very functional office in the back of the house, with a separate entrance. During winter, the living room natural fireplace (cleaned & inspected in 2022) will provide warmth and mesmerizing flames while the over-sized Heatilator offers several degrees of comfort. The open concept from living room to dining room and into the kitchen makes for ideal entertainment. The insulated and heated-zone garage provides an ideal place for year-round crafts and activities. New features since 2019 include a bathtub refinish, new bathroom faucets, shut-off valves (with quick main shut off for entire house), tub drain, shed repaired & sealed against rodents, new high-efficiency Anderson front picture window and newer windows throughout, plus a new 3-zone high-efficiency boiler. Added bonuses include the privacy fence for pet safety, new door locks for keyless entry on the side doors, and attic storage with spruce flooring! You can hear the freighter salutes and waves of Lake Huron lapping on a warm summer night from this cozy brick ranch. Close to all of the amenities that Port Huron and Fort Gratiot have to offer - public beach access, water-craft launch sites, leisurely strolls on the Thomas Edison Parkway, cultural museums, eclectic downtown shops & restaurants, and so much more. This is one to see in person to fully appreciate!
