Nestled just outside Mesick on 3 private acres, ideally positioned between Cadillac and Traverse City, this updated ranch features bright, open living with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. A covered porch invites you in, while built-in shelving and cubbies in living spaces keep things tidy. The airy primary suite offers a spa-like bath, walk-in closet, and main-floor laundry. Sunlight fills every corner through abundant windows. Relax by two cozy fireplaces, or host gatherings on the expansive deck, patio, or around the fire pits. The walkout basement offers a family room, wet bar, and a bedroom. An extra-large two-car garage, plus an updated furnace, new water heater, and water softener, complete this very private, and quiet, retreat. VA Assumable Mortgage Opportunity!
