Property Description
Completely Reimagined In-Town Frankfort Gem — Rebuilt, Not Just Updated Rebuilt from the existing footprint within the last five years, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers what few in-town Frankfort listings can: new roofline and roof, new mechanicals, reconfigured open floor plan, and rebuilt front porch — a true ground-up renovation, not a cosmetic refresh. Inside, the new hardwood floors and pickle pine ceilings set a warm, coastal-cottage tone. The living room's gas fireplace with a whisper-quiet blower anchors the space, while the custom-tiled kitchen peninsula makes the heart of the home as functional as it is beautiful. The upgraded primary suite offers a private retreat, and a second full bath with a walk-in shower — a rare find among comparable in-town listings — adds everyday convenience for family or guests. New Andersen windows fill the home with natural light and add energy efficiency. The custom blinds provide both shade and privacy as desired. Outside, a custom-fenced double lot is a standout feature — offering privacy, room to garden or entertain, and long-term flexibility for a future garage, or addition, subject to City of Frankfort zoning review. A one-stall garage with gas heat and plumbing rounds out the practical upgrades. The location seals the deal: walk to downtown Frankfort's shops and restaurants, area schools, and the shores of Lake Michigan. Whether you're looking for a year-round residence or a northern Michigan getaway, this move-in-ready home delivers rebuilt-new quality in one of the region's most walkable settings. Don't miss this rare combination of full-rebuild craftsmanship, two full baths, and double-lot potential in the heart of Frankfort.
