Light and bright is a theme in this classic downtown Petoskey home with water views on a great corner lot, an easy walk to shopping, dining, and the incredible walking/biking trails that connect Petoskey to the waterfront and neighboring communities. Great floor plan with tall ceilings and sunshine that flows through the main floor, boasting a clean neutral palette, large open rooms, and a stylish vibe that makes staying home an enjoyable proposition. This interior is ideal for families, retirees, the resort crowd, or that person who works from home, with a cute main floor office/4th bedroom featuring a built-in workspace and interesting nooks and storage options. Upstairs will remind you of a vintage farmhouse with freshly painted white floors, and more unique custom coves and storage spaces spread across 3 good-sized bedrooms with even better water views, plus a giant bathroom with ample counterspace, dual sinks, and a tile tub/shower combo if bath time is your thing. Outside provides a great sun-drenched patio area off one of the 3 covered porches, easy, low-maintenance landscaping, four different points of entry, including the attached garage, and all on a corner lot, which the City of Petoskey Zoning affords more options for expansion or customization. 420 Wachtel is not a cookie-cutter Northern Michigan Home; this classic early 1900th Century structure was crafted meticulously, has been maintained impeccably, and is ready for the next owner. These sellers have loved every minute of their short time here, but work is taking them across the country, and you could still get into this great home in time for the Holidays.
