Property Description
Welcome to 657 Crystal Ave., a move-in-ready Frankfort home set on a large wooded lot near the edge of the city limits. With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and over 1,500 square feet, this home offers the comfort, updates, and location buyers are looking for. Over the last 15 years, more than $135,000 has been invested into the property, including a new metal roof, new siding with real stone accents, an upgraded front porch with matching stone and new steps, new furnace, new windows and French door throughout most of the home, new kitchen flooring and countertops, a fully remodeled upstairs bath, updated carpeting, decorative ceilings, and a gas fireplace insert. The main level includes the primary bedroom and bath, comfortable living spaces, and a cozy gas fireplace for the cooler Northern Michigan months. Upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms, including one with a connected bonus space that would make a great small office, reading nook, or sitting area. The setting is one of the home’s best features, with a spacious backyard and large back deck overlooking the wooded surroundings. It is a great place for gatherings, grilling, relaxing, or enjoying the quiet feel of the property. Be sure to view the Feature Sheet for a list of all the improvements. From here, you can enjoy convenient access to schools, parks, the marina, downtown Frankfort, Betsie Bay, Lake Michigan, and other city amenities. Frankfort is loved for its small-town charm, beaches, boating, fishing, nearby trails, and easy access to Northern Michigan favorites including Crystal Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Arcadia Bluffs, and Crystal Mountain. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a beautifully updated home in one of Northern Michigan’s most loved communities. Move in, relax, and enjoy life in Frankfort.
