Like a queen’s gambit in a master’s game of chess, this rare listing in Frankenmuth schools makes a bold opening—strategic, elegant, and impossible to ignore. Set on 5 acres, this 2,700 sq. ft. brick ranch (built in 2002 by Bavarian Builders and just 4 miles from N Main Street with Blumfield taxes) greets you with a circular drive, manicured lawn, lush landscaping, a brick paver walkway, and stately double front doors. Step inside to soaring 20’ ceilings in the living room, 9’ ceilings throughout, and walls of windows framing sweeping views of the private backyard and patio. The kitchen pairs Pioneer oak cabinetry with Corian countertops, high-end stainless appliances, and a sunny breakfast nook. A formal dining room doubles as the perfect flex space for an office, den, or playroom. The west wing features three bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bath, plus a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet. Off the insulated three-car garage, you’ll find a large laundry/mudroom and an additional bath. The finished basement—newly updated with carpet and LVP flooring—is a true crowd-pleaser. A custom theatre area sets the stage for cozy movie nights or lively game days, while a hickory kitchen makes entertaining effortless. A fourth bedroom, office, and bath with private garage access offer an ideal setup for a mother-in-law suite or multi-generational living. Practical upgrades provide lasting peace of mind: a newer Rheem water heater with on-demand circulation, Trane dual-burner zone furnace for energy efficiency, Anderson windows, and battery backup sump pumps. In the game of house hunting, this home is the ultimate checkmate.
