Homes like this - with SO many sought after features wrapped up into one property - do not come along often! Located in Leelanau County in the M-22 "corridor", but just 10 minutes from Traverse City, sits this impressive home with sunrise views of West Bay and 130' of shared, sandy beach frontage on West Bay. The 6.7 acre lot includes a mix of open and wooded land, with a variety of planted fruit trees (apple, cherry, peach & pear), a custom built chicken coop and plenty of room to build out additional gardens. In addition to the attached 2 car garage, there is also a 28X30 pole barn with an upper level loft & 220 volt service, which would make for a great workshop or studio. Inside the home, the kitchen and adjoining living room - both with water views and walnut hardwood floors - are sure to be the main gathering space for family & friends. The full kitchen remodel includes quartz counters, new appliances including Bertazzoni range & fridge, new cabinets, floor to ceiling tile backsplash, custom floating shelves, lighting fixtures & pot filler. A slider door leads to an expansive back deck - the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee as the sun rises over West Bay. The gas fireplace in the living room is a cozy focal point for winter months. A small home office space tucked off of the living room provides a nice option for work-from-home needs. The main floor bath includes a tiled walk in shower and heated floors. Upstairs are four bedrooms (including a spacious primary bedroom with water views), a full bath with updated vanity & floors, and additional living space that leads out to a second deck. Additional updates and features: zoned irrigation, new Maytag washer & dryer, new hot water heater, forced air with natural gas.
