Fabulous, very well cared for home with many major updates, sitting on 8.5 acres M/L, with shared access to Penesa Lake, located kitty-corner across the road! For boating and fishing or just floating on your inner-tube!! New in 2021 & 2022...the well, roof, furnace, woodstove, drain field & septic, and radiant floor heating in part of the home! Offering 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and the upper 'observation/family' room that presents a beautiful panoramic view with windows on all four sides!! Your washer/dryer and hot water heater are conveniently located on the main floor. Bright and efficient island kitchen with a snack bar, stainless steel appliances, plus the dining area. Cozy up to the woodstove in the main floor living area on those chilly winter evenings! Outside you'll enjoy plenty of room to roam! Your 8.5 acres is rolling and partially wooded. Nicely landscaped and there is a great garden area for veggies or flowers, and a patio for bar-b-q-ing and pure relaxation! Come winter, break out the cross country skis or snowmobiles, walking boots, or just 'rest & enjoy'!! This gorgeous property is located just 2 miles from thousands of acres of State Land, multiple other inland lakes to explore, and the 'Rails-to-Trails' hiking trail! Less than a half hour to Cadillac for shopping, and eateries galore, and awesome Lake Cadillac & Lake Mitchell! And, you're only about one hour from the magnificent Lake Michigan...or Traverse City for even more shopping and great restaurants!! Talk about 'location'!
