Eight acres inside the Portage city limits, and a second living space you have to see to believe. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch opens up to vaulted knotty pine ceilings that carry from the living room straight through the kitchen, the kind of warmth new construction simply cannot copy. The kitchen sits at the center of it with a gas range, glass tile backsplash, stone look counters, and a sunny eat-in spot that looks out over open field. All three bedrooms and both bathrooms are on one level, and the laundry is right where you want it. Out back, a deck better than 31 feet wide ties the home to a fully separate guest suite with its own kitchen, living room, bedroom, and full bath. Family, a home office, a studio, or guests who would rather have their own front door. An oversized detached garage and a storage shed take care of everything else. Then there is the land: eight acres of open lawn and mature trees running back to a pond, room to garden, room to roam, or just enjoy the quiet, and all of it minutes from US 6, the Toll Road, and everything Portage. Well and septic, natural gas heat, central air, and Portage Township schools. Acreage like this, this close to town, almost never comes up. Come walk it.
