Southern Leelanau County 10-acre homestead features a large ranch-style home, 3-car insulated garage and a quality-built Morton pole building in a peaceful country setting. Gardeners and farmers will appreciate the open and level lay of this land. Located on a private, no-thru road between Traverse City and Empire, this 4 bedroom, 4 bath home is near swimming-fishing-paddling lakes, snowmobile trails and state land. Custom, frame-built home has a metal roof, 6-inch walls, full basement, central air, new furnace, energy-efficient on-demand water heater, and a Generac whole house generator. Widened doorways and a ramp in the garage make this home accessible. The main level includes 2,300+ square feet which would benefit from some cosmetic updating but offers Tigerwood bamboo flooring in the sitting, dining and living rooms. The centerpiece of the home is the spacious kitchen with lots of counter and cupboard space, a pantry and an island for meal prep. A sitting area with cozy corner gas fireplace lends a country kitchen feeling. Primary bedroom suite includes a private bath with jetted tub, walk-in shower and an attached office or library area. Main floor includes 3 more bedrooms and 2 full baths, a mud-and-laundry room plus a formal dining room with a slider to the spacious deck and fenced backyard beyond. Lower level adds another 2,300+ square feet and is a mostly finished large family room, with custom cabinets for displaying your treasures, a full bath and 2 finished non-conforming rooms to use for bedrooms or office and crafts. An extra stairway to the basement from the garage makes it easy to bring things inside. Paved concrete driveway leads to the 40x60 Morton pole barn with a large concrete apron, 12 ft sidewalls, a 10 ft overhead door with opener, and an insulated concrete floor.
