This Village of Empire 3 bedroom 3 bath home is in the New Neighborhood, a walkable, “smart” community with views of forested hills in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park.
Stroll or bicycle a few blocks to village amenities (bank, post office, restaurants, taverns and specialty shops), a public Lake Michigan beach and hiking trails in the National Lakeshore.
This delightful, bright, move-in-ready home is surrounded by a nicely landscaped yard. Three living levels—with central AC and fresh paint throughout—include the main level with a primary bedroom; a full, finished basement with a family room, full bath and high-efficiency furnace; and two more bedrooms plus a full bathroom upstairs.
The main level features wood floors and vaulted ceilings. The airy living room is anchored by the floor-to-ceiling, stone-surround gas fireplace. A brand new kitchen includes alder wood cabinets, stainless appliances and built-in shelves. The main floor bathroom features a tiled shower and glass doors.
The freshly painted exterior includes a covered front porch for relaxing with family, guests and neighbors. Or take a quiet evening/morning break on the back brick patio and enjoy the landscaping and gardens with raised beds. A whole-house generator and standing seam metal roof keep you good-to-go in inclement weather.
Park your vehicle in the attractive carport with outdoor storage. Play in the neighborhood common area and participate in the community garden. Services include city water, a common septic system, natural gas, and cable TV and internet.
This property is in a highly desirable location which is super close to the National Lakeshore. The Glen Lake School District offers student sports and music programs. From here, it’s a convenient commute to Traverse City, with all the amenities of a resort destination and year-round city, including a vibrant nightlife.
