Welcome to the Iconic Bishop Baraga House, a rare gem in Chocolay Township! This sought-after neighborhood is perfectly positioned on the 9th hole of Chocolay Downs Golf Course and is truly a unique and lovingly maintained home with timeless character and modern functionality. From the moment you arrive, you'll be charmed by the curb appeal, from the inviting covered front porch to the nearly 2-acre triple lot setting adorned with mature trees, perennial gardens, and tranquil spaces to unwind. Come on in and discover quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and warm, welcoming spaces that make this house feel like home from the very first glance. At the heart of the home is a beautifully updated kitchen offering solid hardwood cabinetry, newer stainless steel appliances, a cast iron double sink and a rustic farmhouse style island offering additional seating and storage. A cozy brick accent wall adds charm and serves as a focal point for conversation. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room is perfect for hosting gatherings, while a peaceful sitting area provides the ideal nook for reading or simply enjoying views of the backyard wildlife and maybe some occasional "people watching". A home that flows effortlessly, the main level also features a dedicated office space, a convenient half bath and gorgeous hickory hardwood flooring throughout the entire main living area, creating warmth and continuity across the home. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet, private ensuite bathroom, and a laundry chute for everyday convenience. Two additional bedrooms each feature dual closets and easy access to a beautifully maintained full bathroom, perfect for guests or growing families. The lower level has plenty of bonus space for kids and hobbyists alike. It includes a spacious family room, a full laundry and mechanical area, a home gym, a dedicated workshop, and generous storage throughout. And yes, it's already plumbed for an additional bathroom or sauna if you want to expand further in the lower level. But what truly sets this home apart is the private underground tunnel connecting the house directly to the attached two-car garage; a rare and thoughtful feature you'll especially appreciate during the snowy Upper Peninsula winters. Step out back to your personal oasis: a new deck, a relaxing hot tub, raised garden beds, a kids' jungle gym (included with the sale), and even a hammock zone perfect for lazy summer afternoons. Blueberries anyone? With almost 2 acres of land, a vacant lot on each side, insures you get the privacy you desire. Location, lifestyle, and legacy located just 6 miles from downtown Marquette, and minutes from Lake Superior beaches and bike trails, this home offers the best of both convenience and tranquility. The neighborhood is highly desirable and rarely has turnover, a true testament to the quality of life and community here!
