Nice job!

Local pros worked with students in the building trades program of the Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District to craft this gem in a Frankfort neighborhood, sponsored by the Benzie Housing Council. Discover a smart look on the outside combined with extraordinary use of interior space, fitting three bedrooms, two baths and a spacious experience into 1,480 square feet (plus unfinished walkout basement). Hardwood floor on main floor, two-car garage included. And of course, there’s all that Frankfort bonus stuff to love: eclectic downtown, enchanting pier and magnificent beach just a nice walk away, $149,500. Doug Rath, Century 21 Frankfort, 231-352-7123. Note that this home was built to help a family land a quality place in a fine community. Get the word out!

Good to know: The Benzie Housing Council also has a financing program for low-income people buying fixer-uppers. They’ll offer up to $10,000 for down payment and closing costs and up to $20,000 for rehab costs. What’s more, the council also offers foreclosure prevention services, and has saved the mortgages of 45 families so far (Way to go!). Learn more at the Benzie Housing Council, 231-325-6400.
