10 acres with woods and an enormous sunny yard surround this exceptional 3 (or 4) bedroom, 2 bath cedar-sided home with an insulated garage in a peaceful country setting near Crystal Mountain. Nature is the only view from every window as well as the house-length covered front porch and backyard deck. The Craftsman-style interior is solidly constructed and beautiful too. Wood ceilings, beams, moldings, staircase and flooring give this home its comfortable Northern Michigan feel. The great room features a soaring ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone gas fireplace. Beyond are the open dining area and cook’s kitchen, with a large tiled island and tiled floor, gorgeous wood cabinetry and all appliances. The main floor also includes a bedroom, a full bath, and a laundry room. Above this level are a spacious loft for your home office or hobbies, a full bath, and a large primary bedroom that was once two bedrooms and easily could be again. The partially finished walkout lower level has room for your gym or family room and includes one bedroom and a plumbed future bathroom area. What a terrific private getaway or year-round home. Recent updates include the roof, windows, garage, breezeway and whole-house generator. Homesteaders would appreciate the sunny areas for gardening and keeping horses or raising livestock. A small shed keeps your outdoor tools handy. An electronic gate ensures your privacy, and the installed security system can be used for added peace of mind. There is abundant wildlife to watch and river fishing and paddling in the nearby Betsie River. Head 35 miles east to Traverse City for all the big city amenities you enjoy, or travel west to the eclectic shops of Benzonia, Beulah and Frankfort and beaches on Crystal Lake. Just beyond is Lake Michigan, with a wide, sandy, public beach. Visit the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park for hiking, camping, more beaches and water recreation.
