## Description

### Agent Description
Perfectly positioned at the midway point between Traverse City and Suttons Bay, this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated home is truly move-in ready - simply unpack and enjoy an idyllic Leelanau County summer! The 3-bedroom, two-story layout features a comfortable main-floor living room, updated kitchen with quartz countertops & updated appliances, and a bright rear-facing family room overlooking a spacious backyard. An unfinished basement offers excellent potential to expand your finished living space affordably. Step outside to a professionally designed landscape with level terrain, underground irrigation, immaculate gardens, a stone patio, and mature trees. The showstopper: a one-of-a-kind golf putting green framed by greenside bunkers - perfect for any golf enthusiast. Towering pines in the front yard create a natural buffer and year-round privacy. Notable recent updates include shingles & siding (2018), main-level flooring (2018), and upper-level windows (2022), along with many more updates! A whole-home Generac generator adds peace of mind in every season. Altogether, this property delivers comfortable living, thoughtful updates, and exceptional outdoor spaces in a highly desirable Leelanau County location! Short Term Rentals are allowed in Bingham Township with a permit.
