Don't let the exterior fool you. What appears to be a modest home from the road opens to 2,582 square feet of living space with 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a layout that offers far more room and flexibility than first impressions suggest. Set on 10 wooded acres along a quiet, county-maintained dead-end road, the property offers privacy without isolation. Sellers describe the neighborhood as friendly and welcoming, with easy-going neighbors and no through traffic. Inside, recent improvements include updated flooring, new kitchen countertops, renovated bathrooms, and a newer furnace and water heater. High-speed internet service makes working remotely, streaming, and staying connected easy. The finished walkout lower level adds another dimension to the home. With its own private entrance and plumbing already in place for a wet bar or future kitchen, the space is well-suited for extended family, guests, a home office, hobby space, or a home-based business where permitted. Outside, the acreage provides a natural backdrop with room to explore, relax, or enjoy outdoor activities. A 50-amp GFI hookup is already in place for a hot tub or RV. Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Traverse City, the property is also within easy reach of Crystal Lake, Crystal Mountain, the Platte Lakes and River, and seven area golf courses. The combination of acreage, recent updates, flexible living space, high-speed internet, and a location that balances privacy with accessibility creates an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find in today's market.
