Property Description
The opportunity is straightforward: address the drywall where needed, choose your own paint colors, select the flooring that fits your style, and make the house your own. With this much living space, this bedroom-and-bath combination, and nearly two acres, there is very little competing with it at this price point. The layout is one of the home's strongest features. The kitchen sits on the upper level and overlooks the lower living room, creating connection between the spaces, while a second living room on the same level as the kitchen gives everyone room to spread out. Two staircases enhance the flow through the home, and the lower level adds another fireplace and wet bar for even more gathering and entertaining space. Whether your household wants to come together or needs separate places to work, relax, host, or retreat, this floor plan gives you options.
Several major systems have already received meaningful investment, including a newer roof, a separate gas forced-air furnace serving another level of the home, and two new air-conditioning units. A two-stall garage and large storage shed add practical space for vehicles, tools, equipment, and everything that comes with owning nearly two acres.
Then there is the setting. An elevated covered porch overlooks the yard with beautiful lake views across the street, creating the feeling that the outdoors is being pulled into the home. Surrounded by mature trees, it feels almost nestled above the landscape—an ideal place for morning coffee, evening conversation, or simply taking in the changing seasons.
For buyers who enjoy boating, fishing, and time on the water, 224-acre Eagle Lake is just four minutes away and offers public access on the northwest side with a gravel boat launch and parking. You get the benefit of nearby all-sports-lake recreation while still coming home to your own spacious, tree-lined 1.79-acre setting in Mattawan Schools.
This is not a turnkey home—and that is exactly where the opportunity lies. The size, layout, acreage, major systems, and location are already here. Bring your paintbrush, make the improvements your way, and turn 8231 West Q Avenue into the home—and the equity—you create for yourself.
