Property details
About 238 Backus St
This turn-of-the-century home on a double lot in the city limits of Cheboygan is awaiting a new owner with a vision to complete the project at hand. A sturdy foundation and frame makes for a blank canvas with vast opportunity; finish it as a single-family home, a multi-family home, or commercial space. The home sits fully on 1 lot and the included adjoining vacant lot has its own tax ID. Take advantage of the vacant space for a large lawn, a garage, guest house, investment home, or sell it. The choices are endless. Some of the hardest work is already done: the majority of the home has been gutted down to the studs, new underground electrical was installed, the crawlspace was dug deeper, and new, treated sill plates were installed where original had rotted. City water and sewer are in place. Walking distance to downtown Cheboygan, offering dining, shopping, and year-round events with beautiful parks and natures preserves on the Cheboygan River and Lake Huron waterfront.
