Martin Home – 27950 Tamarack Trail

A one and a half story house that is two bedrooms and one bathroom with 768 sq. ft. on the first floor plus a 12 x 16 bedroom and office area upstairs.  This house was built in 1979 but has been recently upgraded.  It has a fairly new metal roof and a new 5” thick white plastic casing deep well.  It sits in the middle of two lots (723 & 724) on Tamarack Trail near the intersection with White Cedar Trail.  The two lots make up a piece of property that is 150 ft. along the road, 150 ft. on the West line, and both lots 170.58 ft. deep.  It is just Northwest of the boat launch and park on the North shore of Font Lake where Donegal Bay Road touches the lake.  It is a short walk from the North Shore Park and just a half mile from all the sandy beaches available to PSJ lot owners on Donegal Bay.  It sits up on a wide sand ridge that is in the middle of the two lots with a dry and very nice crawl space that is easily accessed.  It has electric baseboard heaters in the house that should be sufficient for heating the whole house, but there is also a wood stove that the current owner is using for heat.  The current owner has remodeled the inside and put new flooring in.  The current value of the land alone is just about $15,000.00 but the replacement cost of the house at the current construction rate of $400.00 per sq. ft. means that you would spend $384,000.00 to build this house today.  The owner is only selling because he wants to buy a larger home with a pole barn and acreage near his parents home.  Very few houses come up for sale on Beaver Island anymore that are less than $200,000.00.  This offering is therefore a good buy at the asking price of only                                                                                  $175,000.
