Some homes just have a way of bringing people together. Whether it's a weekend barbecue, an evening around the fire, or a house full of guests, this property offers space that makes everyone want to stay a bit longer...and it is being offered almost fully turn-key with most furniture available with purchase. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Leelanau County, this home comes with something special: an adjoining parcel that expands the property. With common areas bordering both sides, there's a sense of openness and privacy that's hard to find in a neighborhood setting. Step inside, and you'll find that same welcoming feel throughout the home. When cooler months roll around, the gas fireplace creates a cozy place to settle in. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds room for movie marathons, game nights, hobbies and overnight guests. And when it's time to unwind, your very own sauna is waiting! A spacious deck overlooks the backyard, creating the perfect backdrop for morning coffee with your favorite book or cookouts with neighbors. And with the additional acreage, there's plenty of room to toss a football, plant a garden, or simply enjoy a bit of extra outdoor space. When evening settles in, there's nothing quite like gathering around the firepit beneath a star-filled Northern Michigan sky. A finished garage with epoxy flooring adds another practical touch. Beyond your backyard, there's plenty more to explore. Less than 20 minutes from Traverse City, you're close to shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences while surrounded by the area's natural beauty. Spend summers boating on nearby lakes, fall afternoons exploring scenic trails, and hit the ski hills when winter comes. Lake Ann, Empire, and Maple City are all part of the experience, offering their small-town charm. With a little more land, a little more privacy, and room to make it your own, there's plenty of opportunity to enjoy the moments that matter most.
