Thinking of building in the paradise of Leelanau County, but are perhaps daunted by current construction costs? This could be the perfect alternative. Finished in 2017, this like new, spacious home, located in the quaint Lake Michigan village of Empire, is part of the enclave of Heritage Hill, a small neighborhood of homes, and is adjacent to thousands of acres of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. You, your family, and friends can strike off, literally in your back yard for four season adventures, or bike or hike down to one of the best sunset, west facing beaches in "The County". A blend of farmhouse meets cottage style architecture, this spacious 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home is where family memories will be made. Open concept living/dining/kitchen area, where meals will be enjoyed, prepared in a generously sized kitchen that can accommodate those with culinary ambitions, and those that want to supervise. You'll enjoy the large pantry, main level laundry, mudroom entry from the garage with "lockers" for keeping the gear organized, powder room, and spacious primary/master suite with double sinks, custom tile shower, and well designed closet area. Upper level features not only three very nice sized bedrooms, but two full bathrooms, bonus space above the garage, and "the secret room", a fun space behind a rotating bookcase; a great area for kids, office, or crafts. The lower level, garden area has a massive family room complete with wet bar area, there's a 5th bedroom, and 4th full bath, along with lots of storage, and a "cool room" perfect for a wine cellar. Spacious 3 car garage with 2, 8' high doors, 9' and 18', work bench area, and built-in shelving. Beautifully landscaped yard, covered front porch, south side deck with natural gas tap for your grill, 24KW Generac for those emergencies.
