Set on a country acre just outside the village of Kingsley, this thoroughly renovated ranch delivers true single-level living with rolling fields and horse pastures framing the views. Inside, four genuinely oversized bedrooms surround a brightened kitchen and living room where the drop ceilings were opened up to let in the natural light. A wood stove ties directly into the HVAC ducts and warms the entire home with the kind of cozy that only comes from a real Northern Michigan winter, while newer mini-splits keep things crisp and comfortable straight through summer. The major systems are already sorted (forced air furnace, roof, well pump, septic tank, drain field, and a 600 sq ft detached garage built in 2015), so the next owner can simply move in and start living. The fenced rear yard offers safe enclosure for pets and the laying chickens, plus plenty of open space for gardening and outdoor projects. The utility shed is already in place, and a wide open side yard has the room (and the flat, sunny ground) for the pole barn, workshop, or hobby setup you have been planning. Lilac borders, a 24x16 deck, and a generous front lawn round out the 2,280 sq ft of easy single-level living. Twenty minutes to downtown Traverse City and within Kingsley Area Schools. Country setting, modern systems, and turn-key ready for chickens, gardens, hobbies, and all of the Up North living you came here for.
