## Description

### Agent Description
Experience the best of Northport living in this beautifully updated home located in the highly desirable Cherry Home Shores community, offering space, comfort, & shared access to Grand Traverse Bay. This spacious home offers 3+ bedrooms (with flexibility for a 4th bedroom) & 3 full baths, featuring 2,536 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. A renovated kitchen & improved layout enhance flow & functionality, making the home ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Generous room sizes provide flexibility for guests, work from home needs, or additional sleeping areas. A standout feature of this home is the inclusion of a basement offering valuable additional space for storage, recreation, or future finishing potential, a benefit not commonly found in many homes within the community. In addition, a large bonus room approximately the size of a two-car garage provides exceptional versatility for a recreation room, media space, studio, or extended living area. A separate two-car garage adds convenience and storage. The home is serviced by natural gas, including a natural gas furnace and appliances, enhancing efficiency and comfort, & is equipped with a Generac whole house generator. Step outside to enjoy beautifully landscaped grounds & a fenced backyard, creating a private setting for relaxation, pets, or outdoor entertaining. Cherry Home Shores residents enjoy approximately 800 feet of shared Grand Traverse Bay frontage with multiple waterfront parks and beach access. Community amenities include a clubhouse, newly added pickleball courts, tennis & basketball courts, playground areas, picnic spaces with grills, & a network of nature trails. County maintained roads provide convenient year-round access. Located just minutes from the charming village of Northport, this home offers easy access to local dining, boutique shopping, marina access, and seasonal farmers markets, all part of the relaxed Leelanau Peninsula lifestyle.
