There’s something about this setting that just feels different—a bit more simple and relaxed. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac sits this custom-built home designed for space, comfort, and everyday living. Step inside and you’re greeted by an open, connected feel, highlighted by a unique upper-level living area overlooking the main floor. It adds just the right amount of character while keeping the home bright and functional. The kitchen is built to handle it all, with plenty of counter space and abundant cabinetry—ready for everyday meals and entertaining. A main floor office gives you flexibility for work or hobbies, while the primary suite offers a comfortable retreat with a walk-in closet with built-in shelving and a private bath with a soaking tub and shower. Two additional bedrooms are connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom––a setup that just makes sense. The lower level is set up for real life, with a spacious entry from the garage and back door, half bath, laundry area, utility room, and finished den that can easily flex as a second living space, playroom, or home gym. Outside is where the recent improvements really shine. A newly poured concrete patio with stairs off the back door creates a natural spot to relax or host summer gatherings. You’ll also find a spacious yard with a children’s playscape, lavender beds, two large garden areas, and Concord grapevines that produced their first harvest this past summer. Additional features include two cold storage rooms with roll-up doors and a generator-ready setup for added peace of mind. When it comes to location, you get a balance of convenience and the outdoors—just 30 minutes to the south side of Traverse City and 20 minutes to Cadillac, with hundreds of acres of nearby U.S. Forest land for hunting, exploring, and adventure. And just a short drive drive into Mesick for everyday essentials. It’s a home that’s been well cared for, improved in all the right ways, and ready for the next owner to make new memories.
