About This Home
Leelanau County home, ideally located between Traverse City and Suttons Bay, this beautifully cared-for 4-bedroom, 4-bath home sits on 2 tranquil acres surrounded by mature woods and seasonal blooms. The charming covered front porch overlooks a manicured lawn, while the expansive back deck and stone patio offer a peaceful setting to enjoy your morning coffee or host evening gatherings. Inside, the main level is warm and welcoming with an open-concept layout that blends the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, an island for easy prep, and views into the cozy family room, highlighted by a gas fireplace and large windows that bring in natural light and woodland views. A French-doored office/den just off the entry makes an ideal remote workspace—or potential main-floor bedroom—with a nearby full bath for added flexibility. Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including a private primary suite with walk-in closet. A versatile bonus room above the attached 3-car garage offers additional space for a playroom, home office, or creative studio. The finished lower level is designed for fun and relaxation, with a second gas fireplace, wet bar, game room (pool table and darts included), exercise space, full bath, and laundry. Whether entertaining friends or hosting family, there's room for everyone to unwind. Extras include a standby generator for peace of mind and access to a private association sports court (tennis, pickleball, basketball)—with no association fees. Convenient to the TART Trail, beaches, boat launches, and award-winning wineries, this home blends comfort, privacy, and location!
