Property Description
Here's an opportunity that offers flexibility in a location with strong rental appeal. This property features a 2-bedroom, 1-bath main residence plus an attached 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment, creating options for rental income, multi-generational living, a guest space, or a combination of both. The owners have made updates and consistently maintained the property, allowing the next owner to step in and make the most of its potential. With its convenient location near Ferris State University, the separate living spaces offer an attractive setup for those looking to generate additional income while owning a property of their own. Picture yourself living in the main home while the apartment helps offset your monthly expenses-or renting both spaces and adding a versatile property to your portfolio. Whether you're looking for your first investment, an income-producing property, or a home with room for additional possibilities, this one is worth a closer look.
