136 S Hemlock Street Evart MI 49631 MLS #26017637

Some homes just fit. The morning coffee tastes better in a sun-filled front foyer. The dog runs the yard freely. The kids walk to school while you start a load of laundry — without climbing a single stair. That’s the rhythm this home makes possible.
Set on a quiet, sidewalk-lined street in the heart of Evart, this thoughtfully updated 4 bedroom, 2 full bath home offers 1,825 finished square feet of comfortable, functional living. The main level delivers a bright and open living and dining flow, an updated kitchen with a large center island and included appliances, a main floor bedroom, and main floor laundry — everything you need, right where you need it. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms give you room to spread out for existing family, guests, hobbies, or a dedicated workspace.
Step outside and the lifestyle truly opens up, extending your living space well beyond four walls. The fully fenced backyard – added by the current owners – the level lot, and newer 8×10 metal-roofed shed offer privacy, room to breathe, and storage for every season. And the location delivers something rare at this price point – the Pere Marquette Trail parking lot is right around the corner, putting one of Central Michigan’s premier rail trails at your doorstep. Paved and spanning the width of the city and county, the trail is a year-round destination for biking, jogging, and in winter, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.
The recreation doesn’t stop there. Riverside Park West – a 17-acre hub along the Muskegon River – is a short walk away, featuring a splash pad, beach volleyball, shuffleboard, a riverside walking path, and canoe and kayak launch access. Cross the bridge and Riverside Park East adds 33 acres of groomed woodland trails, a scenic overlook with benches, a fishing platform, and some of the best wildlife viewing in the area. All of it accessible without getting in a car.
The mechanical work is already done – and recently done at that. In the last three years the current owners have replaced the A/C and furnace and just prior to their time, the home received updated electrical with a new panel, updated plumbing, and a new water heater. Public water and sewer are in place. Roof-mounted solar panels. Seller reports average electric bills of approximately $50/month during peak months. This home is move-in ready without the question marks.
Beyond the property, Evart delivers the kind of daily pace that’s increasingly hard to find. A walkable neighborhood feel, a close community atmosphere, and easy access to Big Rapids (20 min), Reed City (15 min), Cadillac (45 min), and US 10 for commuting or weekend travel, all the while being within a little over an hour of Grand Rapids and surrounding areas. Come see what it feels like to be home, with updates done and at a price that still makes sense.
