About 305 Emerald St

Welcome to your new home within walking distance to the Michigan Tech campus and downtown Houghton. Beautifully remodeled using quality materials and thoughtful design, it is move-in ready. You'll appreciate the large corner lot with garden areas, two patios, a deck, and a convenient detached double garage. Enter a heated foyer with a roomy coat closet. Proceed inside to an attractive and comfortable living room that features a gas fireplace with ceramic tile and oak mantle and shelves. A small office is just off the living room. The dining room has a unique inlay and a sliding glass door to the private deck. The kitchen features a large island and plenty of cherry cabinets. Rounding out the main level is a 1/2 bath. Downstairs is a walkout basement, insulated and partly finished. Upstairs, a spacious landing opens onto three nicely sized bedrooms. One bedroom even has a solid maple built-in twin bed. A bright full bath with a separate tub and corner walk-in shower completes this level. An attractive solid oak ladder takes you to the finished attic: a great place for hobbies, a teen hangout, or what have you. It adds approximately 200 square feet (not included in the total finished area as shown above). Schedule a showing of this beautiful East Houghton home today for the opportunity to make it your own.
