This Leelanau County gem offers privacy and convenience on just over an acre with a generous front lawn and room for your garden. Two wildflower meadows and a large entertaining deck sit against a wooded hillside of mature hardwoods and evergreens. Centrally located minutes from downtown Traverse City, the TART trail, Cedar Lake. Just minutes from West Middle School and West Senior High with Willow Hill bus stop near the end of the driveway. Four generous bedrooms, two full baths, and an extra-large finished basement provide all the space busy families need. The updated kitchen features butcher block countertops, soft-close cabinetry, ample storage, and a brand-new oven and stove. It flows to a dining area with sliding-door access to the back deck and forest. Hardwood flooring spans the main level and main-floor primary suite with walk-through closet. A generous mudroom/laundry area offers a spacious coat and storage closet, slate floors, and direct access to a fenced dog run on one side and the attached two-car garage on the other. The living room's high-efficiency wood-burning fireplace and circulator create relaxed ambience and can fully heat the top two floors even on frigid February days. With your own access to hardwood on the property and a covered open-air woodshed, staying stocked for winter is simple. A high-tech natural gas furnace/heat pump/air-conditioning system with programmable thermostats keeps the house comfortable year-round at low cost. The home is wired for a generator, and a high-capacity generator in the garden/storage shed provides peace of mind. Despite its tucked-away setting, the home is well-connected with high-speed fiber-optic and cable internet--ideal for remote work, streaming, or running a home business from your wooded retreat.
