About This Home
From the moment one makes their way along the meandering, tree-lined driveway, it becomes clear that this stunning, immaculately kept home and property has more of an estate-like feel than that of a lake cottage. Originally built in 1987, this home has undergone a full remodel in the highest, dedicated fashion. It is situated in the village of Empire, on 100 ft of South Bar Lake water frontage and two parcels of land. No detail was spared in the remodeling process, both in design and with comfort and functionality. The lawn is expansive, manicured, and dotted with towering, stately trees, the decking runs the width of the home, allowing for great entertaining space and incredible views, and there's a separate, enclosed sunroom on one portion of the deck. Inside, the lofted ceilings open to a stunning, sundrenched kitchen, which is adjacent to both the living and dining room spaces. On the main floor, there's a powder room, primary suite with lake views and access, and a large, cheerful laundry and mudroom room that leads to the attached two car garage. Upstairs, there are two more spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, one with soaring, dramatic ceilings, and at the end of the hallway is a very oversized bonus room space that serves as an additional family room area, game playing space, and also has its own stairway that leads down the garage. This home is on natural gas, has central heat, air conditioning (via mini splits), a generator available for hook-up, is on Empire water, a private septic system, has access to high speed internet and cable, and so, so very much more. Being sold furnished with few exceptions of artwork and personal items. This is a turn-key home, ready to be made in to your dream residence or getaway! Just a 10 minute walk in to downtown Empire, very near its incredible park on Lake Michigan, and just a stone's throw from the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Heritage Trail, Glen Lake, and Glen Arbor. One couldn't ask for too much more!
