About 49897 Center St

Perfectly situated just minutes from downtown Hancock, this affordable Franklin Township home offers practical living with recent updates and a convenient location. Entering through the front door, you'll step into a carpeted foyer with bifold closet doors providing immediate storage. A small step up brings you into the spacious living room where natural light streams through double windows with wooden blinds, creating a welcoming atmosphere for relaxation or entertaining. Moving through the home, wood-look flooring guides you from the living room through a transitional hallway into the heart of the home. The main floor bathroom has been completely remodeled with new grey patterned tile flooring throughout. This updated space showcases modern finishes including a white shaker-style vanity with contemporary black fixtures and a clean white tub/shower combination with built-in shelving. Conveniently located in the same space, the laundry area features side-by-side machines with overhead storage, making household tasks efficient and accessible. The eat-in kitchen flows seamlessly from the bathroom area and offers white cabinetry with ample storage along with a double-basin stainless steel sink beneath a sunny window. The designated dining area accommodates a cozy table and chairs, perfect for morning coffee or casual meals. Natural light fills this space through multiple windows, including one in the door leading to exterior access. Carpeted stairs with a sturdy handrail lead to the upper level where two bedrooms await, both featuring new carpet that extends through the hallway. The first bedroom showcases convenient open closet storage with integrated shelving and drawers. The second bedroom offers unique character with white-painted faux brick paneling accent, new carpeting, and dual closet spaces providing flexible storage options. Both rooms benefit from natural light and flush-mount ceiling fixtures.
