Agent Description

Tucked into a quiet Leelanau County neighborhood just minutes from Empire and an easy drive to Traverse City, this beautifully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and laid-back Northern Michigan living. Inside, 9-foot ceilings and an open, welcoming floor plan create spaces that feel bright, relaxed, and effortlessly livable.

The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a high-end Viking stove, and a walk-in pantry designed for everything from casual weeknight dinners to gathering with friends after a day at the beach.

The main level extends seamlessly into a screened-in three-season porch overlooking the backyard firepit area. Thoughtful features throughout the home include central vac, alarm system, and generous walk-in closets that offer the kind of storage every homeowner appreciates.

Downstairs, the walkout lower level provides exceptional potential for additional finished living space, including the possibility for a fourth bedroom and third bath. Whether you envision a family room, guest suite, fitness space, or all of the above, the foundation is already in place.

Surrounded by beaches, golf, trails, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and the places people return to year after year, the location offers both convenience and a true sense of escape. Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or Up North retreat, this is the kind of home where people walk in and immediately feel at home.
